Three Wilson College of Textiles graduate students were recognized for their ability to communicate complex research during this year\u2019s Three Minute Thesis<\/a> (3MT) competition hosted by the NC State Graduate School<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The competition, founded by the University of Queensland and held by universities across the globe, challenges graduate students to present and explain their research in three minutes or less. 40 master\u2019s and doctoral students from across NC State submitted videos of their presentations to a committee that ultimately chose 10 finalists to compete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ana Alves Musialak (M.S. Textiles<\/a>) and Kowshik Saha (Ph.D. Textile Technology Management<\/a>) both landed finalist spots at this year\u2019s 3MT competition. Finalist Suh Hee Cook (Ph.D. Fiber and Polymer Science<\/a>) also won the competition\u2019s \u201cPeople\u2019s Choice\u201d award. The honor, which is decided by the audience, comes with a $500 prize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cook\u2019s presentation, \u201cConductive Scaffolds to Mature Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocites,\u201d describes their ongoing research within Assistant Professor Jessica Gluck\u2019s lab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
