Four graduate students from the University of Manitoba have qualified for the first round of the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Science, Action! video contest. Each video showcases an exciting research story in 60 seconds or less and needs votes, shares and / or views to move to the final round where the top winners will be decided by a panel of judges.

From March 9 to March 20, by visiting the Science, Action! site, you can watch these videos and vote for U of M entries by sharing them on Twitter and Facebook and in turn show your friends, family and colleagues how U of M research makes an impact in the world around us.
