The University of Georgia Graduate School hosted the 10th annual Three Minute Thesis competition in a virtual ceremony on April 8. Better known by the acronym 3MT, the competition requires contestants to explain their thesis or dissertation topic and its significance in three minutes or less using only a single static presentation slide.

This year’s grand prize winner was Judith M. Reyes Ballista, a doctoral student in the Department of Infectious Diseases, for her presentation titled “The Grinch of the Cells.”
