Podcasts about Three Minute Thesis

On this week of Stupid Genius, Emily and Mollie tackle a popular academic competition that sounds simple but can be deceptively challenging: the Three Minute Thesis, or 3MT. Mollie shares her experience as she won her faculty heats /(twice!) and went on to compete at the university level. They also break it down into what the 3MT is and where it comes from, how to write a great 3MT, and how to perform it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jessica Sharmin Rahman is one of those rare human beings we always hear about who can do it all. She has been taking dance lessons from the age of six and taught classical dance at Chhayanaut Cultural Centre (one most prestigious dance institution of Bangladesh) for almost eight years. But that is not her primary career. She is a young computer science researcher whose work primarily involves looking at the effects of auditory and visual stimuli on human physiological signals to analyze how sensory input influences Human affective (emotional) reasoning. She is now a PhD Student in the Human-Centred Computing (HCC) group of the Research School of Computer Science at the Australian National University (ANU). Before that, she received her B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Dhaka. Recently she became the people's choice winner of The Three Minute Thesis competition (3MT) hosted by ANU for her presentation titled "Do you know how music makes you feel?". In this episode of Bangla Tech Talk, we talked about the 3MT competition, her doctoral research, the importance of ethical thinking in computer science research, and the social dilemma both the documentary and issues we face as a society. Later in the episode, Jessica shared why both her dance and research works are equally important to her and how they help each other to be more productive. We also learned about her journey from Bharatanatyam to street dance and a brief history of both dance forms. An outline of this episode this provided below to help navigate the conversation.

This week I am joined by Marquette University Ph.D. candidate Abigail Bernhardt to discuss her forthcoming dissertation, "On Sides: Reading Irish National Identities through Soccer, 1920-1998." Abby uses soccer as a lens for understanding the political and social evolution of Ireland in the twentieth century and goes into detail about a series of riots that occurred at soccer matches in Derry & Belfast. We also discuss St. Patrick's Day, academic conferences, and her experience in the Three Minute Thesis competition. Join us for a rollicking conversation.

In this episode, I consider the function of competition in exercise, and share my speech from the Three Minute Thesis competition. Spoiler Alert: I didn't win.

On this very special episode of Pioneering Minds, we’ll hear from 12 of our brightest PhD students as we present the 2016 finalists of Macquarie’s Three Minute Thesis competition. Recorded live in the Macquarie theatre on September 19th, the Three Minute Thesis competition forces PhD students to condense their complex research into three minute bite-size summaries that even a layperson can understand, with topics ranging from ice addiction therapy to artificial intelligence and transhumanism to the interplay of colour and emotion.

(Dr!)Utkarsh Mital is a VERY recent PhD graduate. In fact, Kevin, Griff and guest co-host Erin Darling had to move the recording until after his defense. Mittal isn't just an engineer, he's an actor, has a role in "PHD Movie 2", and won the People's Choice Award for the Three Minute Thesis competition.

Nash and the team are back for another week! We catch up with UNSW Social Soccer society, get the lastest on the NRL finals on 'Sports With Niko' and we hear from UNSW Three Minute Thesis finalist James Dunn.
