GSBS Students Compete in OLLU 3 Minute Thesis Competition
GSBS students Zaineb Hassouneh (left), Peace Okeke (center), and Caitlyn Fastenau (right) competed in the 3MT competition this weekend at Our Lady of the Lake University. The competition offered students an opportunity to practice their science communication skills and increase their confidence while presenting their research.
A special congratulations to Zaineb Hassouneh (previous MS I&I graduate and current IBMS Student) who advanced to the second round of the competition. Zaineb shares “I initially decided to participate in the 3MT on a whim and had no idea what to expect. Having done it twice now, I think it is a great opportunity to practice public speaking and articulating complicated science research in a digestible manner. I love meeting other graduate students from various institutions and disciplines. It is always so interesting to see what kind of research is being done outside of science.”
