During the Graduate School’s fifth annual Three-Minute Thesis Competition, students shared condensed versions of a variety of research projects.
There were novel ways to help alert people in the path of catastrophic floods; evidence-based ideas to support those with mental illness and prevent suicide; as well as a solution to making a commute to work smoother, with fewer road projects to heighten traffic.
And those were just a few of the concepts floated by students Thursday night, when they summed up months or years of research into just 180 seconds at the University of Miami Graduate School’s fifth annual Three-Minute Thesis Competition.
