From the UW-Madison Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology:
This Symposium connects healthcare professionals, population health experts and community advocates dedicated to advancing health equity. The presentations and poster sessions highlight research addressing persistent gender, racial, and other disparities.
Interested in sharing your research? We are offering two options:
- Submit a poster
- Submit a proposal to give a Brief & Brilliant talk
We encourage you to submit for both!
CALL FOR BRIEF & BRILLIANT TALK PRESENTATIONS
The Brief & Brilliant (B&B) talks are TedX-style presentations aimed to translate women’s health and health equity research in ways that engage a broad audience and emphasize the public relevance of this work.
The goal is to emphasize the main conclusions of the research rather than the methodological details behind it. Five scholars will be selected to each give a 3-minute lightning talk, highlighting an idea from their area of work that is particularly important, relevant, or intriguing.
The B&B talks will be in person at the HSLC from 7:05-7:30am on Thursday, October 20, 2022.
Please complete a B&B talk submission HERE by Sunday, August 21 at 11:59pm. If you have any questions, contact Autumn at ahayes1@wisc.edu.
Late submissions will not be accepted.
Selection Process:
B&B talk proposals will be evaluated by the Symposium Planning Committee. Successful proposals will:
- Align with the event theme and objectives
- Deepen audience understanding of a particular research innovation
- Offer fresh insight and relevant information through the combination of words and visuals
- Effectively communicate messages to a variety of audience members
Preference will be given to proposals by trainees and emerging professionals. Presenters chosen for B&B talks will be notified by September 2, 2022.
Presenter Award:
A $100 prize will be awarded to the B&B presenter selected through audience polling at the Symposium.
