At the 2016 Tomlinson Talks, six Tomlinson Scholars shared their research in a fixed 6 minutes and 40 second presentation format (20 slides timed to run for 20 seconds each).
This made for engaging, dynamic, and well-rehearsed presentations that were pitched for a general audience. In addition to showcasing their research to McGill professors and senior administrators, these scholars gained valuable knowledge translation and presentation skills.
