SUMMARY:CANSSI Quebec 2025 Stats in a Flash Competition
DESCRIPTION:Event date: Friday\, March 14\, 2025\nEntry deadline: Friday\, March 7\, 2025\nTime: 10:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. ET\nLocation: Hall Building\, Room H-1220\, Concordia University\, Montreal\, Quebec\, and on Zoom \nCould you present your statistics research in three minutes? \nThat’s the challenge facing participants in CANSSI Quebec’s second annual Stats in a Flash: 180-Second Thesis Competition. \nThis year’s event has a twist: In addition to the regular competition for master’s and PhD students\, there will be a new non-competitive section for Quebec faculty members willing to take up the challenge of presenting their statistics research while taking the opportunity to discuss potential openings in their research groups. \nInterested in participating? See the instructions below. \nInterested in watching in person or online? Register as an attendee on Eventbrite. \nUse this Zoom link to watch the event. \nHow It Works\nGraduate Students\nThe Stats in a Flash competition is designed to promote academic excellence as well as to foster effective communication and presentation skills. It provides a unique platform for participants to showcase their research and enhance their communication abilities within the statistical sciences community. \n\nThe student competition is open to full-time master’s and PhD students in thesis-based statistical sciences programs at Quebec universities.\nParticipants deliver a three-minute presentation based on their primary research with the help of a single PowerPoint slide. The presentations may be done in either French or English.\nAll presentations must be delivered in person\, and all participants agree to be photographed and digitally recorded and to allow any recordings to be made public.\nA panel of judges evaluates the presentations based on communication\, comprehension\, and engagement.\n\nPrizes of $500\, $250\, and $125 will be awarded for the top presentations\, and there will also be a special Audience Choice Prize of $125. \nFor the full rules and regulations\, read this PDF document. \nTo enter the Stats in a Flash competition\, register as a student presenter on Eventbrite. \nFaculty Members\nFor 2025\, the event will include a separate non-competitive session in which faculty members from Quebec universities are invited to use the same format—a three-minute talk with one PowerPoint slide—to present their statistical sciences research. Faculty participants will also be given time (over and above the three minutes!) to discuss potential openings in their research groups. \nTo participate as a faculty member\, register as a faculty presenter on Eventbrite. \nSchedule\n10:30–11:30 a.m. | Faculty presentations \n11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. | Complimentary lunch for participants and attendees \n12:30–2:00 p.m. | Student presentations \n2:15 p.m. | Distribution of prizes
