It was started at the University of Queensland in Australia in 2008 and has now spread to more than 350 universities across the world. The purpose of the presentation style is to train students to condense and highlight their scholarly work to an educated, but diverse audience in preparation for job interviews, business interactions, and conversations with colleagues both inside and outside of their discipline.<\/p>\n First Place:\u00a0 $500 Cash Cash awards provided by the Graduate Student Association<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide heading=”3MT\u00ae Second Place Winner” button_text=”Watch the 3MT” button_link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g5vILhb6s7Y” use_bg_overlay=”on” bg_overlay_color=”#C1A875″ use_text_overlay=”on” text_overlay_color=”#592C88″ _builder_version=”4.14.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide heading=”3MT\u00ae People\u2019s Choice” button_text=”Watch the 3MT” button_link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4L7gu2VlfFk” use_bg_overlay=”on” bg_overlay_color=”#C1A875″ use_text_overlay=”on” text_overlay_color=”#592C88″ _builder_version=”4.14.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_slider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.14.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Top 10 Finalists” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.14.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Extraction Efficiency Testing of Degraded Bone Samples: Comparing Four Extraction Methods for Use in Downstream Massively Parallel Sequencing Applications<\/a> H.D.\u2019s Waves: A Modernist Confluence of Literature, Science, and Spirituality<\/strong><\/a> Reviewing a Framework for Concealable Stigma in Communication Disorders: Addressing Adverse Outcomes and Promoting Inclusion<\/strong><\/a> Morphological and Molecular Analysis of Locusts of the Southern Appalachians<\/strong><\/a> Towards a Better First Year Composition Experience<\/strong><\/a> A Closer Look at Africa in Charles Dickens\u2019s Bleak House<\/strong><\/a> Bleak House: Mirrors as Criticism <\/strong><\/a> Coquetting with Truth: The Erosion of Earnestness in Dickens\u2019s Bleak House<\/strong><\/a>3MT\u00ae 2021 Award Winners<\/h4>\n
