The annual GWiSE 3 Minute Thesis Competition 2020 is finally here! The 3MT is an academic competition that challenges Ph.D. students to describe their research within three minutes. This is a great opportunity to practice pitching your research to a non-specialist audience and to improve your science communication. Northeastern GWiSE and the Northeastern University Library have partnered to make 3 Minute Thesis possible with some pretty cool prizes:
- First place: 100$ Grubhub card, an interview on the Dean’s podcast, 100$ credit for 3D printing at the library
- Second place: 50$ Grubhub card, an interview on the Dean’s podcast, 50$ credit for 3D printing at the library
- Third place: 25$ Grubhub card, an interview on the Dean’s podcast
