Three Minute Thesis Videos

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a competition in which graduate students have one PowerPoint slide and - you guessed it - three minutes to describe their dissertation research.  Graduate students at Stony Brook University who compete gain valuable training that is rooted in skills from the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science to develop a talk geared towards non-specialists. 

Please enjoy these wonderful presentations from our department's past graduate student participants.
