Event Details:

 

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is a university-wide research communication competition hosted by the Graduate School. The competition develops academic, presentation, and research communication skills and supports the development of graduate 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. 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.
