Fall co-op students participate in SNOLAB Student Talk Competition

Last week ten undergraduate students wrapped up their fall work term with SNOLAB by participating in the Student Talk Competition, where they presented on topics ranging from radon assays to an analysis of the operations team at SNOLAB.  

The SNOLAB Student Talk competition is not only an opportunity for students to share what they worked on during their work terms but also to practice important presentation skills and gain experience sharing their science with peers and colleagues.  

“It is wonderful to see all the work students accomplish in only 4 months”, said head judge, Dr. Christine Kraus, “They all did very well in the presentations and answering challenging questions. It is so important for students to develop these skills – no matter where their paths will lead them” 

A special congratulations to the winners of this term’s competition who stood out for their clear, well-delivered talks and excellent responses to audience questions. 

First place: Jerry Lu, 3^rd year, studying Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo 

Second place: Peter Qin, 3^rd year, studying Physics at the University of Toronto 

Third place: Jeffrey Glasier, 3^rd year, studying Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo 

Honourable Mention: Keegan Paleshi, 2^nd year, studying Physics at Laurentian University 

Congratulations to all of the students who participated in the Student Talk Competition! We wish you all the best with the next steps in your education and hope to see some of you back here in another term or perhaps in another stage of your careers.
