Less Than Two Weeks Left to Submit Videos for the 3MT Competition!

Deadlines 2/10/2023

 

There are only two weeks left to submit your research video entries for a chance to participate in the Graduate School’s annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition! This is an exciting year to participate, as we have increased the cash prizes, which include $5,000 for first place, $3,000 for second place, and $2,000 for the People’s Choice Award winner.

I have shared the link to the 3MT webpage below, as well as some additional information about the Graduate School’s 3MT® competition. Please email me, Allison Loy (Loy2@purdue.edu), with any questions!

What is 3MT®?

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition that helps graduate students develop academic, presentation, and research communication skills so that they can effectively explain their research to a 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. 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.
