Eight Cornell research degree students will be advancing to the final round of the 2024 Three Minute Thesis competition (3MT), having competed in a pool of 22 students in the preliminary round. The students and their fields are:
Cátia Dombaxe, biomedical engineering
Amanda Domingues, science and technology studies
Sharada Gopal, biomedical and biological sciences
Viviana Maymi, biomedical and biological sciences
Agustín Olivo, animal science
Jeremy Richardson, psychology
Meagan Sundstrom, physics
Sterling Williams-Ceci, information science.
The final competition will be held live and in person at G10 Biotechnology Building on Wednesday, March 20 at 3 pm. A panel of judges with connections to the Cornell community will evaluate students on how well they presented a compelling story on their thesis or dissertation and its significance in just three minutes in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience with the aid of only one, static slide.
