En français, s’il vous plaît! Announcing the MT180 challengers

The challengers in the third annual virtual Ma thèse en 180 secondes (MT180) competition at the University of Manitoba have been announced.

The MT180 competition challenges graduate students to present their research project in simple terms to a non-specialized audience, in French. This competition is modelled after the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition.

The UM competition allows both master’s and doctoral students the opportunity to compete, and the top placing doctoral challenger will advance to the National final being held on May 11 at the Acfas Congress at Laval University.

The four challengers who will be presenting at UM’s final event are:

Camila Chacon – Physiologie et Pathophysiologie, M.Sc
Le système nerveux sympathique et l’intégration des neurones spinaux V3

Courtney Marshall – Immunologie, M.Sc.
Les différences sexuelles dans l’immunomodulation de l’inflammation par peptide synthétique. 

Diane Tshikudi – Immunologie, PhD
Effet de la chromogranine A et de la pancréastatine sur le processus de guérison de la muqueuse intestinale dans la colite ulcéreuse.

Patti Germain – Francais, Espagnol, Italien, PhD
Le Lieu touristique dans les œuvres d’Alain Rennais et de Marguerite Duras (1944-1965) : espace des violences présentes et passées.
