I know everybody will have competitive presentations and can\u0026rsquo;t wait to see the work of my fellow graduate students.\u0026rdquo;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESince 2015, Tech\u0026rsquo;s version of this international competition, which started at The University of Queensland, Australia, has provided graduate students with an opportunity to hone their professional skills and win prize money to help further their research efforts. The competition challenges students to explain their research in three minutes in a way that anyone can understand.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAnd on April 9 from 3-4:40 p.m. Tricker and the other finalists will present their research on topics that could one day impact your day-to-day life. The campus community is invited to tune into the event via BlueJeans to cheer on the students and vote for the winner of the People\u0026rsquo;s Choice Award. (Winners will receive research travel grants ranging from $500-2,000.)\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EYou can join the event here: \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/primetime.bluejeans.com\/a2m\/live-event\/yagbucjr\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Eprimetime.bluejeans.com\/a2m\/live-event\/yagbucjr\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETen Ph.D. students and one master\u0026rsquo;s student (who was awarded first place in the master\u0026rsquo;s category and will be competing for the People\u0026rsquo;s Choice Award) made the cut to participate in the finals.
