Excited that Sophia Yoo, a PhD student in my research group at @Princeton, was a finalist in the (very cool!) Three Minute Thesis competition run by @PrincetonGrad. I had fun iterating with Sophia on how to present her research to a broad audience within a mere 180 seconds.
Take years of detailed, often technical academic research. Now, explain it to a general audience.
You have 3️⃣ minutes.
Ten @PrincetonGrad students met that challenge in the Final Showcase round for Princeton’s first Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition: bit.ly/4sYtXlo

"I want to highlight the powerful synergies between research efforts in academic labs and in the private sector. Each realm has its own unique strengths and the most significant advances in clinical applications come out of capitalizing and expanding upon those synergies." — Mary Brunkow *91
