On December 3rd, 2024 took place the inaugural Resonance Public Speaking Program, a new initiative designed by Drs. David Langlais and Andrew Churchill, together with a team of experiences trainees, to help students communicate their science clearly, confidently, and across disciplines.
Over ten weeks, participants worked with their coaches to refine their messages, sharpen delivery, and practise connecting with diverse scientific audiences across the VDIGM. The semester concluded with a 5-minute talk showcase that highlighted the breadth of research across our institute—from computational genomics to immunity and molecular engineering.
We would like to congratulate Thomas Zheng , a CERC PhD student under the supervision of Sirui Zhou for winning the Spotlight Award — Confident Delivery.
We also would like to say thanks to Tanja Sack, a CERC postdoctoral fellow in the Cuella Martin Lab for her coaching time.
