3M Thesis Heats

Posted by Stephanie Rogers on March 25, 2026 in News

The first ever Dalhousie Agricultural campus 3M Thesis Heats were held Monday, March 23.  Winners were Caitlin McCavour of Plant, Food and Environmental Sciences and Sahil Sahil from Engineering.

The 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) competition brings together the Dalhousie community to give graduate student researchers a platform to share and celebrate their ideas and compete for cash prizes.

Students have three minutes to present their research in as engaging a manner as possible for a non-specialist audience, with one PowerPoint slide permitted as a visual aid.

3MT heat participants who move forward in the competition will have the chance to win the following prizes during the finals:

First place: $1,000 and eligible participants have the opportunity to represent
Dalhousie at the Eastern Regional 3MT Competition
Second place: $500
Third place: $250
People’s Choice Award: $500 (in addition to any other prize money received)

Congratulations and Good luck as you move forward!
