“The 3MT competition gives us the opportunity to explain our scientific research in a creative way. It forces us to think outside the box for analogies or relatable real-world examples to explain our hyper-focused thesis work. It allowed me to use my non-scientific interests to better explain my research, bridging two topics I am passionate about.” Kelsey Briggs, 2019 First Prize Winner
