3MT: Three Minute Thesis Competition
What is 3MT?
Can you describe your research in three minutes, using simple terms to people with no background in your research area (like your parent, roommate, or neighbor)? If so, then this competition is for you!
Compete against your classmates, make it to the final round, and win money!
Following registration, you will be contacted with full rules and the resources needed to participate.
