RISE Center students shine at the third annual ASU SOLS Three Minute Thesis (3MT) and Graduate Research Poster Competitions
On Tuesday, October 7, SOLS graduate students from across all programs presented their research posters to compete for up to $500 in research or travel funding in the Three Minute Thesis competition and Graduate Research Poster Competitions.
The Three Minute Thesis competition is an international competition that was developed by The University of Queensland in 2008 and challenges students “to effectively explain their research in three minutes, in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience.”
Three graduate students from the RISE Center were among the winners in the competition.
Tasneem Mohammed won 2nd place in the 3MT competition. Her 3-minute thesis title was "What are the academic causes and effects of depression among science faculty?"
Mary Kahraman’s poster titled "Graduate students with depression deploy adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies when encountering stressors in research" and Baylee Edwards’ poster titled "Students respond positively to an instructor collecting and sharing aggregated class demographic data from a survey in a high-enrollment physiology course," each won 1st place at the SOLS poster competition.
