2016 Three-Minute Thesis Competition for FSU Doctoral Students


The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is a research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland, Australia. The exercise develops academic, presentation, and research communication skills and supports the development of students' capacities to effectively explain their research in language appropriate to an intelligent but non-specialist audience.
