When you write a thesis, dissertation, or academic journal article, you are addressing a small audience of academics in your field. However, academic writers sometimes need to speak to wider audiences with limited or no specialized knowledge, such as when writing proposals for funding, when creating outreach materials for the public, or when communicating with the media. During this session, you will gain practice with the following:
• analyzing your audience
• recognizing and avoiding jargon
• editing for simplicity and conciseness
• using examples and anecdotes
• writing with directness

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition in which master's students on a thesis track and Ph.D./Ed.D. students have three minutes to present a compelling oration on their research and its significance. The 3MT® promotes presentation and communication skills, provides opportunities and feedback for students to work on explaining their research to a non-specialized audience, and in general helps students hone their “elevator pitch” discussions of their dissertations (especially useful for those students heading into job interviews!).
At the University Final, twelve students will compete to win top awards. These students will be announced at the end of October 2024.
Guests who attend the event can vote for their favorite competitor and help them win the People's Choice award. Refreshments and snacks will be provided, and there will be time for a Q&A with the finalists following their presentations, door prizes, and raffle prizes. Join us at the University Final and help support graduate student research!

Many TXST graduate students work in labs where they are working closely with faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and/or postdoctoral researchers. In this Shop Talk, expert faculty and students will discuss how graduate students can engage in best practices in labs, decrease potential conflicts and miscommunications, and be as successful and productive as possible. Students will leave the workshop with many ideas about contributing to positive, collaborative, and supportive labs.

The session will conclude with a discussion about the successful strategies that previous TXST graduate students have deployed in their own planning, searching, and application processes, as well as an opportunity to hear from a panel of international external funding awardees about their experiences and advice. Although this session is offered during International Education Week and focuses on the unique needs of international students, all students are welcome to attend.
