The 3MT for short, is a research communication competition designed to help graduate students develop presentation skills by consolidating and presenting their research succinctly to a non-specialist audience, all in just three minutes. Although the name of the event is Three Minute Thesis, as a PSU Masters or Doctoral student, you are eligible to present any research you are conducting for a thesis, dissertation, or culminating project.
