Vision Sciences Society has a new opportunity for grad students and postdocs!

Do you think you can explain the essence of your dissertation research to a
group of eager secondary school students in less than 5 minutes using one slide?

Of course you can! The well-known

Minute Thesis (3MTR) competitions held at many universities worldwide have had
great success.

VSS is holding an informal 3-minute thesis-style exhibition event for an
audience of high school students on Monday, May 22, 2-4 PM at St. Petersburg
High School. 

We are looking for ten graduate students or postdocs to participate. VSS will
provide transportation to and from the high school for the ten participants.

The audience of high school students will vote to choose their favorites. 

Who can participate?
Any current graduate student who is working on a dissertation, or any current
postdoctoral trainee or postdoctoral research associate who has completed their
dissertation, is eligible provided you are registered to attend VSS 2023.  

Does the work I describe have to be my dissertation?
Yes, just like in the 3-minute thesis competitions held worldwide.

One slide? 3 minutes?
We're going to keep to the one-slide policy of 3MT, but we'll give you up to 5
minutes.

I already participated in a 3MT competition. Can I apply to join this event and
can I use the same slide?
Yes! In fact, we encourage those who already have their slide ready to apply to
join this event.

Where can I find out more about a 3MT-style slide? Can I see examples?
The 3-MT was developed by the University of Queensland, Australia. Official 3MT
competitions occur world-wide. There is plenty of information on the

What are the benefits?
You benefit and the community benefits. You benefit from the opportunity to
explain the essence of your work to an attentive audience who are not experts in
your field. The presentations will be followed by opportunities to meet the
students in small groups and talk to them about your path: Why did you decide to
study vision? How did you prepare? Did you face special challenges? The students
attending benefit from the chance to learn something about vision and to be
inspired by your example.

OK I'm in. How do I apply?
Send one PDF file containing:
*     A single 3MT style slide
*     Full contact information (name, email, phone, current address)
*     Name of your current research supervisor
*     Name of your doctoral research supervisor (if different)
*     Date your Ph.D. was earned or expected
*     Institution who granted or is granting the Ph.D.

The name of the PDF file should be YOURLASTNAME_3MTEXPO. Send it to
<mailto:vss at visionsciences.org> VSS by April 17, 2023. Those selected will be
notified by April 24, 2023. In the event VSS receives too many submissions to
evaluate in the allotted time, preference will be given to those who submitted
earliest.

The slide you send need not be the final version. If you are selected you will
have the opportunity to get some feedback and revise if needed.

Can I attend the event if I'm not speaking?
Unfortunately, the audience will be limited to the high school students and
their teachers and the ten VSS participants. The venue will not have room for
additional people. 

Will there be virtual options?
The event is in-person only.

Will I get some recognition for participating?
Yes. VSS will acknowledge your participation with a letter from the Board of
Directors.

Questions?
