PEWG would like to wish Chris Morgan (third year PhD student from Biosciences) best of luck in the Universitas 21 Three Minute Thesis competition. Chris’ work is on “Coordination of meiotic recombination in arabidopsis” (i.e. Plant genetics).
Videos are now online for the pubic to vote for a “people’s choice” winner. A panel of industry experts and academics will judge the winning and highly commended videos on 28 October.
Chris and the remaining finalists have beat off competition from about 800 others from eight countries as part of Universitas 21’s Three Minute Thesis competition.
The Three Minute Thesis competition gives junior researchers the chance to develop their communication and presentation skills. Universitas 21 chose 17 finalists after a series of local competitions at member institutions. The UK students are up against entries from the universities of Hong Kong, Queensland, Connecticut and Auckland among others.
