Watch doctoral candidates battle it out in a Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition for the newly-created Mark S. Wrighton Award on Aging. The 3MT is an academic competition that challenges PhD students to describe their research within three minutes to a general audience.
A panel of three researchers from multiple disciplines, will select the winner of the “judge’s choice” award. An additional “people’s choice” winner will be voted on by the audience. The judge’s choice winner will receive a $1,000 cash award and the people’s choice winner will receive a $500 cash award.
This event will be held virtually via Zoom. It is free and open to all. Please register to receive your unique link to attend.
