LoboBITES are three-minute presentations on a thesis, dissertation, or other substantial research project or scholarly activity, similar to the trademarked Three Minute Thesis (3MT). All currently enrolled University of New Mexico graduate students are eligible to participate. To register, fill out the online application form.
Think of them as short TED talks. Graduate students present their research in a compelling and approachable way, using language and terms appropriate for a general, non-academic audience. Presentations are judged by a panel consisting of UNM and Albuquerque community members. Submissions open Sept. 4.
Top contestants can win up to $1,000 in scholarships and a paid trip to represent the UNM at a regional competition. The greatest benefit of this event is gaining experience in communicating your research/scholarly activity in an efficient, clear, and engaging way to a diverse group of listeners.
