Quick: tell us about your biodiversity related graduate thesis in three minutes!

That is the point of the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) academic competition that assists current graduate students by fostering effective presentation and communication skills. Participants have just three minutes to explain the breadth and significance of their research project to a non-specialist audience.

 

3MT was developed by The University of Queensland in 2008. UBC was one of the first universities in North America to host a competition, when it held its inaugural 3MT @UBC in 2011, and now these competitions are held at many countries around the world.
