The University of Kentucky (UK) Department of Veterinary Science hosted its inaugural Three-Minute Thesis (3-MT) competition, where nine PhD candidates (i.e., post-qualifying examination) graduate students presented their research projects on March 31 in the UK Gluck Equine Research Center auditorium.

Daniel Howe, PhD, professor and director of graduate studies in the UK Department of Veterinary Science, said the purpose of the 3-MT competition was to “encourage the students to develop skills in communicating their research in a very concise and efficient manner.”

The rules of the 3-MT, which was originally developed at a university in New Zealand, allow students three minutes to discuss their research using only one presentation slide and no gimmicks (e.g., props, costumes, songs, etc.)
