The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) celebrates the exciting research conducted by PhD students. It is a skills development competition that challenges Higher Degree by Research students to explain their research project to a non-specialist audience in just three minutes and with only a single static slide permitted.
The School of Ag, Food and Wine heat was held on Thursday August 4 and showcased some of the excellent students here at Waite.
Pictured left to right are the winners from the School heat:
- Laura Wilkinson – people’s choice winner: Molecular and physiological cues influencing maternal development in barley.
- Nicholas Sitlington Hansen – Waite heat winner: Quantifying nitrogen uptake efficiency in wheat using high-throughput phenotyping.
