Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs is excited to announce the 2024 GRADflix showcase winners!
GRADflix is a research communication competition, where graduate students from all six faculties create 60 second videos about their research. These videos make complex graduate research accessible to a non-specialized audience, and serve as a way for graduate students to blend their research with creativity while broadening their communication skills, expanding their network, and gaining exposure for their work.
At the GRADflix showcase on February 6, 15 finalists had their videos premiered to an audience of other graduate students, staff, faculty, friends, family, and community members. Alongside the video premieres and a chat with past showcase winners, awards were announced for the first, second, third, and fourth place winners, along with the social impact award and people's choice award - voted on by the live audience!
