A contest for graduate students will have dozens of presenters whittling down months’ and years’ worth of their research into the time it takes most people to brush their teeth.<\/p>\n
Learn about the kinds of graduate research happening across Northern Arizona University during its first 3-Minute Research Presentation<\/a> competition and reception from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 16, in Ashurst Hall.<\/p>\n The project is designed to increase graduate students\u2019 communication skills and their capacity to effectively present their research or creative work to a general audience in a three-minute timeframe. It is modeled after the 3-Minute Thesis presentations<\/a> developed by the University of Queensland.<\/p>\n In addition to cash prizes for the top three outstanding presentations, all attendees will be invited to vote for their favorite presenter for the Peoples Choice Award.<\/p>\n RSVPs are requested by April 9 to Kirsten.Slaughter@nau.edu<\/a> or by calling (928) 523-4338.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
