Eight Cornell research degree students will be advancing to the final round of the 2025 Three Minute Thesis competition (3MT), having competed in a pool of 17 students in the preliminary round. The students and their fields are:
- Ranee Anderson, food science and technology
- Linda Kalunga, food science and technology
- Katherine Koebel, biomedical and biological sciences
- Sara Miller, geological sciences
- Maciej Olszewski, physics
- Kasim Saiyyad, applied economics and management
- Viral Shukla, food science and technology
- Sydney Womack, biomedical and biological sciences and veterinary medicine
The final competition will be held live at G10 Biotechnology Building on Wednesday, March 19 at 3 p.m., though a Zoom option will be available for audience members unable to attend in person. 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.
