UPDATED April 10, 2024: Congratulations to Kevin for winning the contest!

Congratulations to BME’s Kevin Bautista, one of 10 Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) finalists.

3MT is a fast-paced competition that challenges Purdue Graduate students to share their research in only three minutes. Developed by The University of Queensland, the competition develops academic, presentation, and research communication skills and supports the development of students' capacities to effectively explain their research in language appropriate to an intelligent but non-specialist audience.

During each competition, graduate students will have three minutes to present a compelling discussion on their research topic, including its significance and relevance, to the general public. The idea is to force competitors to consolidate their ideas and crystalize their research discoveries.

This is a fast-paced competition where the top 10 finalists compete by summarizing their two to three-plus years of research in only three minutes with only one slide. Cash awards are given to the winner, runner-up, and People's Choice Award winner.

The audience chooses their favorite 3MT presentation of the 10.

Register to attend the 3MT Finalists' presentations in Fowler Hall on Tuesday, April 9, from 7 - 9 pm at https://bit.ly/43gHPv5.
