What could 3 minutes do for your research?

Last year’s 3MT winner, Anshul, discovered that preparing for the competition changed the way she viewed her own research and taught her the importance of communicating science beyond the scientific community.

Now it’s your turn. The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) Competition challenges master’s and doctoral students to explain their research and its significance to a non-specialist audience in just three minutes.

Ready to take the challenge? Head to our website to learn more about the 3MT process, and make sure to register by the September 10th deadline. https://bit.ly/3MTUGA
