SUBJECT: Speedy pharmacy research for the masses

DATE: March 14, 2017

Members of the media are invited to attend Memorial University’s School of Pharmacy’s second annual Snappy Synopsis: Graduate Research in a Nutshell event on Thursday, March 16, at 11 a.m. in the Health Sciences Centre in St. John’s.

Using props, (amateur) actors, slides or other acceptable communication aids, nine graduate students will get creative in their quest to present their research in street language.

Each contestant has just four minutes to illustrate how their work will make a difference to any Tom, Dick or Harriet.
