Carolina Science Cafe | Three Minute Thesis Winners
November 12 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
UNC-Chapel Hill’s 2024 3MT Competition
Join us for a special installment of the Carolina Science Cafe, Morehead Planetarium and Science Center’s free, current science awareness program. For the November cafe, we will welcome 5 outstanding graduate students from UNC to share their research in a series of lightning talks. This cafe is done in partnership with the University of North Carolina Three Minute Thesis Competition.
Designed for adults, this program explores science topics making national and international headlines and offers the chance to meet the experts behind the headlines. The Carolina Science Cafe is hosted at Haw River Tab & Table in Carrboro on Tuesday, November 12th, starting at 6:00 p.m. with light appetizers available for all attendees. Note the change in date, this will be the 2nd Tuesday in November.
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an academic competition that assists current graduate students with fostering effective presentation and communication skills. Participants have just three minutes to explain the breadth and significance of their research project to a non-specialist audience.
3MT was developed by The University of Queensland in 2008, and is now held in more than 900 universities in 85 countries around the world.
Master’s degree and doctoral students enrolled at UNC-Chapel Hill from any discipline administered by The Graduate School are welcome to register and participate in the competition.
Carolina Science Cafe is produced by Morehead Planetarium and Science Center and sponsored by the UNC Chapter of Sigma Xi.
You do not need to register…just show up!
