Cheer on LMP at the 3-Minute Thesis (3MT) finals - part of the LMPRC
As part of the LMP Research Conference 2026, for current and former members of the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology.
The 3MT (or 3-Minute Thesis) is an academic research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland, Australia in 2008. It is a communication competition where a researcher is communicating to a non-scientific audience about why they’re doing their research and what they hope to achieve with it. They have one slide and three minutes to do so.
Come cheer on graduate students in LMP as they compete for the the LMP 3MT prize!
The audience will vote for the winner.
Host: Dr. Pamela Plant
