Huge congratulations to Tebby who won first place in UBC Vancouver’s 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition yesterday!
The 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. Founded by the University of Queensland in 2008, the popularity of the competition has steadily increased and 3MT competitions are now held in over 350 universities across 59 countries worldwide. UBC, one of the first universities in North America to host a 3MT competition, has been presenting 3MT since 2011.
Next up, Tebby will represent the university in the Western Regional Competitions in May! Her research talk was on the prevalence of anemia among San women and young children in rural Botswana.
