Catherine McGoveran, a student in the SIM program and intern at the Killam Library, has made the top 25 list for a national competition sponsored by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the federal research funding agency that promotes and supports post-secondary-based research and training.

The competition, called Research for a Better Life: The Storytellers, challenged post-secondary students to show Canadians how social sciences and humanities research is affecting our lives, our world and our future prosperity.

Catherine’s entry was a three-minute video showcasing some of the research that’s happening at Dalhousie’s Social Media Lab.

“As our social interactions are increasingly online,  exploring the connections and communications within social media is becoming increasingly relevant. This is an area of great interest for me, but I was also excited by the opportunity of visually representing the Social Media Lab’s research and making it accessible to a broader audience,” says Catherine.

Congratulations on making the top 25 and good luck Catherine!
