Student researchers to make their final presentations at the Three Minute Thesis Competition
Now an annual tradition, the Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) Competition is down to the final presentations.
Three Minute Thesis is a research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland that challenges higher degree students to present a compelling oration on their research thesis and its significance in just three minutes in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. It aims to hone young researchers’ knowledge translation skills.
Ten finalists have been chosen, and their topics focus on a wide range, including Alzheimer’s disease, forest management, brain systems, designing drugs with computers, and gambling. Visit the competition website to see the presentations. Following the presentations, a panel of judges will determine the winners. The 3MT® winners will then be announced along with the winners of the Images of Research competition. Media and the public are invited to attend.
