REGINA — What do anti-racism education, deadly parasites, invisible bonds and toxic algae have in common?
They are just some of the fascinating subjects U of R graduate students are researching and will be presenting on during the U of R’s Three Minute Thesis (3MT) final competition.
Eight U of R finalists will battle it out in three-minute presentations for research supremacy and the chance to move on to compete in the Western Canadian competition. And should they replicate last year’s U of R champion, Michael Mensah’s performance, proceed to the national and then international competitions.
The 3MT competition challenges grad students to describe their research in plain, understandable language, with only one slide for visual support, in only three minutes.
Last year’s winner, Mensah, a PhD candidate in the Department of Biology, ran over the competition with his Fresh Solution to Salty Cows presentation that took him to first place in the National competition - the first time a U of R graduate student has won the nationals. He went on to represent Canada in the North American finals, held in St Louis, Missouri in December 2024.
