2024 Three minute thesis competition
School of Translational Medicine (STM) HDR students regularly compete in the "Three Minute Thesis" competition (3MT), offered in every Australian university. The Three-Minute Thesis Competition is an opportunity for GR students to convey the relevance and importance of their research in just 3 minutes. It is an excellent opportunity to achieve a higher profile for research students and their work. The Monash 3MT finalist will then be invited to represent Monash University at the Asia-Pacific 3MT competition, which will be held in Queensland at the University of Queensland.
