2022 3MT - Three Minute Thesis
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is an academic research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), Australia. Graduate students from all seven University of Guelph colleges have earned a chance to compete in the 3MT® campus final.
Welcome from the Assistant Vice-President (Graduate Studies)
"Graduate students have three minutes to present a compelling oration on their thesis and its significance. The 3MT is not an exercise in trivializing research, but instead challenges students to consolidate their ideas and research discoveries so they can be presented concisely to a non-specialist audience."
The votes are in! The winners of the 2022 3-Minute Thesis® Campus Finals are:
First: Nima Nalin, PhD Plant Agriculture, Ontario Agricultural College
Second: Louis Colaruotolo, PhD Food Science, Ontario Agricultural College
Tied for Third: Kathy Jacyniak, PhD Biomedical Sciences, Ontario Veterinary College and Singam Suranjoy Singh, PhD Engineering, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences
Community Choice Award: Christian Cheung, PhD Human Health and Nutritional Sciences, College of Biological Sciences
Thank you to our judges and congratulations to all of our University of Guelph 3MT® participants! If you missed the opportunity to watch this year's 3MT videos, check out the video showcase below.
