Struggling with your thesis? You're not alone.

Writing a thesis can be one of the most challenging


tasks for students and researchers alike. The process is often filled with hurdles, from choosing the
right topic to conducting thorough research, analyzing data, and crafting a compelling argument. It
requires time, dedication, and a keen attention to detail.

The pressure to produce original, high-quality work can be overwhelming, especially when balancing
academic commitments with other responsibilities. Many students find themselves grappling with
writer's block, uncertainty about their research direction, or simply feeling stuck in the midst of the
writing process.

Enter the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition—a platform designed to showcase the research
of graduate students in a concise and engaging format. Participants have just three minutes to present
their thesis topic and its significance to a non-specialist audience, using only one static PowerPoint
slide. It's a test of communication skills, clarity, and the ability to distill complex ideas into digestible
nuggets of information.
