Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition where PhD candidates present their doctoral research to a non-specialist audience using only a single visual aid—all in three minutes. This exercise encourages graduate students to think about their research from an outsider’s perspective, hones their presentation skills, and provides a forum for a cross-disciplinary exchange of exciting ideas and information. Finalists will compete at the annual Mason Graduate Interdisciplinary Conference on Friday, March 27, 2020, for over $2,000 in prize monies.
Registration for the 2020 3MT® competition opens in December 2019. Doctoral students who have advanced to candidacy by the registration deadline (February 2020) are eligible to participate.
