The Three Minute Thesis competition challenges postgraduate research students to do just that!<\/p>\n<p>The competition is open to all higher degree by research candidates. This includes Masters by Research and Masters of Philosophy, as well as all doctoral candidates. Unfortunately, honours students are not permitted to compete.<\/p>\n<p>Supervisors are encouraged to bring this to the attention of their students. 3MT is a great way for students to practise explaining their research to people who are not familiar with their field \u2013 skills that will serve them well when applying for funding or engaging media attention. Plus, it\u2019s always lots of fun. And there are prizes \u2013 cash and the chance to travel to Brisbane for the Australasian final.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sydney.edu.au\/education-portfolio\/ei\/events\/3%20Minute%20Thesis%20Registration\/895\/\" class=\"sc-button bg-red color-white\" target=\"_self\">\r\n\t\t\t   \t\t<span>More information and registration for University of Sydney research students<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t    <\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can also get further information from the official\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/threeminutethesis.uq.edu.au\/\" target=\"_blank\">3MT website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Event details<\/h2>\n<p><label><strong>When:<\/strong><\/label>\u00a0University of Sydney heats run from 1\u20133 August 2017. <strong>Registrations close midnight 20 July 2017.<\/strong><label><\/label><label><\/label><br \/>\n<label><strong>Where: <\/strong><\/label><span class=\"st\">New Law School, Seminar Room 102<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Contact:<\/strong> For any enquiries contact Sandy Haydon on <a href=\"tel:9351%204809\">9351 4809<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter&#8230; We\u2019ve all heard this famous quote &#8211; it\u2019s much easier to give&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":4293,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[73,75,72,74,76],"coauthors":[519],"class_list":["post-4292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-events","tag-3mt","tag-doctoral-education","tag-events","tag-phd","tag-postgraduate-education","post-item","post-even"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/educational-innovation.sydney.edu.au\/teaching@sydney\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/educational-innovation.sydney.edu.au\/teaching@sydney\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/educational-innovation.sydney.edu.au\/teaching@sydney\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educational-innovation.sydney.edu.au\/teaching@sydney\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educational-innovation.sydney.edu.au\/teaching@sydney\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4292"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/educational-innovation.sydney.edu.au\/teaching@sydney\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4292\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4334,"href":"https:\/\/educational-innovation.sydney.edu.au\/teaching@sydney\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4292\/revisions\/4334"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educational-innovation.sydney.edu.au\/teaching@sydney\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/educational-innovation.sydney.edu.au\/teaching@sydney\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educational-innovation.sydney.edu.au\/teaching@sydney\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educational-innovation.sydney.edu.au\/teaching@sydney\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4292"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educational-innovation.sydney.edu.au\/teaching@sydney\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=4292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
