What is 3MT?
The Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) is an academic research communication competition that challenges graduate students to explain their research in just three minutes to a general, non-specialist audience. The goal is to turn complex research into a clear, compelling story anyone can understand and appreciate.
Beyond the competition itself, 3MT is an opportunity to strengthen your public speaking, storytelling, research communication, and presentation skills—skills that can benefit you well beyond graduate school.
And yes, there are cash prizes!
This year, we’re excited to offer:
1st Place — $800
2nd Place — $300
3rd Place — $200
I’ll also be hosting several virtual 3MT information sessions throughout September. These sessions will cover the competition, expectations, tips for developing your presentation, and an opportunity to ask questions.
Whether you’re ready to compete or simply curious about what 3MT is all about, I encourage you to sign up and learn more. You never know where three minutes might take your research! Sign Up for 3MT: https://forms.gle/eobBFR77HUSrKruy9

learn more about this paid mentorship opportunity for STEM graduate students:
Our Future Is Science (OFIS) is an award-winning initiative of Science & Society that connects high school students with STEM graduate students through virtual mentorship. Mentors share their experiences and pathways in STEM while helping students explore how science can address challenges in their communities.
In our 6th year, OFIS mentors work in pairs to guide a student team from November 2026 through May 2027. The commitment is no more than two hours per week, and each mentor receives a $1,000 honorarium.
We welcome graduate students from all STEM fields, including the basic and social sciences, engineering, technology, mathematics, and public health. We are especially interested in applicants who want to help young people understand how science connects with society and discover possibilities for their own futures in STEM.
Applications are due August 30, 2026. We would appreciate your sharing this opportunity through your mailing lists, newsletters, social media channels, or other graduate-student networks.

Advancing Native Students in Aging Research
Advancing Native Students in Aging Research
Advancing Native Students in Aging Research is designed for undergraduate students, especially those from American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities. This culturally grounded course combines short-term, intensive laboratory and didactic courses and mentored pilot research in fundamental, translational, clinical, and behavioral aspects of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) and the mechanisms of aging with ongoing mentoring to ensure both the launching and the retention of these promising candidates in research careers.
Additionally, this NIH/NIA sponsored course will educate undergraduate students on both the federal government’s policies and community best practices with respect to aging programs and their implementation. The course will also cover the implications of mechanistic discoveries on biological aging and on improved strategies for understanding and treating ADRD. Through ongoing interactions, the course helps to expand and sustain their independent research careers on the clinical, translational, behavioral, and fundamental aspects of Alzheimer’s and aging. That said, this course is beneficial for any undergraduate student interested in pursuing a career in the health and science field.
Advancing Native Students in Aging Research offers dynamic training courses and career advancement strategies that provide a fresh series of daily lectures by Native professionals on emerging concepts, followed by extended discussions, laboratory research, technologically intense workshops, Indigenous research methodologies, and informal seminars over week-long periods.
