An
Exciting New Research Communication Showcase with 3-Minute Thesis Competition
The
culminating event will be held on October 30th in Worsham
Cinema. Complete details about workshops and preliminary rounds (organized
by disciplinary divisions) are available on the Graduate School’s website here.
The series of events is sponsored by the Graduate School, the Graduate Student
Congress, and the Society of Postdoctoral Scholars.
The
final event will include three tracks, each with its own prize
money:
- Traditional
3-Minute Thesis competition
(for master’s and doctoral students with preliminary or final research
results/conclusions)
- Graduate
Student Showcase
(for master’s and doctoral students early in their research or
those at any stage who want to share their research and practice
presenting it to a public audience with less constraints than the
3MT)
- Postdoc
Showcase
(for postdoctoral scholars and fellows who want to share their research
and practice presenting it to a public audience)
All
tracks will follow 3MT rules, except that students in the Graduate Student
Showcase can choose to use no slide and one 3”x5” note card for
reference. The final 3MT will be scored by a panel of judges using
standard 3MT criteria, while the Showcase winners will be determined by
audience vote.
