Can a groundbreaking research project be explained in just three minutes? These graduate students are about to prove it!

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition—developed by The University of Queensland, Australia—challenges participants to condense an 80,000-word dissertation (which would take nine hours to present) into a compelling and accessible 180-second talk.
