3MT® is a research communication competition where PhD students present their doctoral research to a non-specialist audience using only one 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.
The preliminary elimination round will be held on Friday, March 4, 2022. The top ten finalists will advance to compete in the final round at the Mason Graduate Interdisciplinary Conference on Friday, April 8, 2022.
