I entered UC Berkeley's annual Grad Slam Graduate Research Presentation contest during my graduate year, and won second place for my speech titled "Finding Answers in Failures". The competition invites graduate students from all disciplines to give a short speech to promote the communication of research and ideas across the graduate school, and across the graduate program within the entire UC system. The main goal: accessibility of knowledge. My speech covered an intro to materials science, the field of failure analysis and fracture mechanics, and my research in only three minutes.
