The 3-Minute Thesis (3MT) is an academic research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland, Australia, for graduate research students. This competition challenges graduate students to present their research topic and its significance in three minutes and using just one slide. The 3MT competition develops academic, presentation, and research communication skills, as well as supports the development of graduate students' capacity to succinctly communicate their research to a non-specialist audience. This collection houses presentations of WVU's 3MT Finalists.
