RSESS Elsevier Award: Three-Minute Thesis (TMT) Grant

The RSESS Elsevier Award: Three-Minute Thesis (TMT) is a unique opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to present their thesis research in just three minutes. Sponsored by Elsevier, this award emphasizes the importance of effective communication and scientific merit in regulatory toxicology and safety evaluation. Participants will refine their presentation skills while competing for monetary prizes based on the judges' selection of the top three presentations.

The Three-Minute Thesis (TMT) is a new RSESS award, sponsored by Elsevier, that will serve as a new platform for student members to showcase their current thesis research project within a short, 3-minute time limit. Presentations will be judged based on overall scientific merit, including relevance to regulatory toxicology or safety evaluation, a graphical abstract presentation, and ability to successfully communicate the goals of their research and answer questions.
Goal:
TMT will provide a platform for students to practice how to organize, distill, and communicate their research to non-experts in a limited timeframe (“elevator speech”). Through this exercise, students will learn how to present their thesis research in an effective way that highlights the scientific question, main findings and their merit, the overall impact to the field.
Awards:

• The top 3 student presentations selected by the panel of judges will receive monetary prizes
