We are pleased to invite you to the inaugural WCGS/GSK Three-Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition. The event, which will be a joint competition for Weill Cornell Graduate School and Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School students, will be held at 4pm on Nov 11, 2015 in Uris Auditorium, with a mixer to follow in the Griffis Faculty Club.
3MT®, founded by the University of Queensland, Australia, is an event that "cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills. The competition supports their capacity to effectively explain their research in three minutes, in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience.”
Students who have joined their thesis laboratory have been invited to participate in the competition. Each participant will have three minutes and one slide to describe their research. Standard rules and example winning presentations from other institutions can be found at threeminutethesis.org. A panel of judges representing students, faculty, and staff will judge the talks.
We invite you to attend and support the participating students!
