What Students Are Saying

⁠One of the most valuable skills is being able to bridge the gap between technical expertise and the actual people your research impacts, and the 3MT Competition is the perfect place to practice that skill! ⁠Winning the 3MT competition is a great step forward for my career goals, as I hope to one day find myself as a liaison between a company's R&D division and business operations.
