Description:
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.
Eligibility: Undergraduate and graduate students only
Application: Student members who wish to be considered should submit a standard meeting abstract along with a graphical abstract (like those requested by many journals) by the award deadline. Selection: The RSESS Executive Committee will convene a diverse panel to select student research projects from the pool of applicants to present at an RSESS webinar. Among others, a key criterion for selection is the relevance of the work to regulatory safety, risk assessment or closely related aspects of research.
The number of presenters at the webinar is limited to 5. The webinar will be held in February 2024, exact date and time TBD.
Presentation: Using a graphical abstract (1 slide), students will be allowed 3 minutes (timed) to present the basis of their research followed by 1–2 minutes for Q&A.
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 ($500 for 1st place and $250 each for 2nd and 3rd place).
