The 2015 Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition<\/strong> process begins with an informational session on Friday, February 6 @ 12:00. On the 3MT @ UVA website<\/a>, the 3MT is described as follows: “Whether you’re networking, interviewing for a job, or just having a conversation at a party, it is essential to have an “elevator pitch” to describe your dissertation work. Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is a competition that helps graduate students develop the necessary communication skills to effetively explain their scholarship in a clear and succinct way so that all people, from field-specialist to the lay-person, can understand the topic and importance of their work.\u00a0Plus, it comes with the opportunity to win cash and prizes!”<\/p>\n

The application deadline is February 18th<\/strong> and there’s a workshop between the info session and the deadline to help get you on the right track. This is a great opportunity for students, so be sure to check it out.<\/p>\n

The Pharmacological Sciences Training Grant<\/strong> (PSTG<\/a>) is proud to report that we have funded two trainees who won awards in the 3MT Competition. Eric Greenwald<\/strong> (Jeff Saucerman’s<\/a> lab) was the 2014 Audience Choice Winner for his video “Scaffold Proteins: (un)leashing efficient communication” and Lindsey Brinton<\/strong> (Kimberly Kelley’s<\/a> lab) was the 2013 Competition Winner for her video “Catching Tumors in Their Webs.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
