3MT finalists from Food and Human Nutritional Sciences explore human health challenges

 In less time than it takes to boil water, two Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences graduate students will share their research at the University of Manitoba’s Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) final event on April 1. They and 10 other challengers will take the stage on April 1 at the Robert B. Schultz Theatre in St. John’s College at the Fort Garry Campus.

3MT is an international graduate student research communication competition developed in 2008 by The University of Queensland (UQ) where challengers have just three minutes to present their research and its importance in plain language, using only a single slide to illustrate their topic. The competitors are judged on comprehension, engagement, ease of communication while providing an understanding of the background and significance of their research.

The UM 2025 3MT event began in March with 37 challengers from 18 different departments who each explained their complex research to a panel of judges and audience members. The winners from those three heats have now moved on to the finals.

Canary Biofuels has qualified for a $1.7-million tax credit under Alberta’s Agri-Processing Investment Tax Credit program for constructing a cold press oilseed crushing plant in Lethbridge. The company is investing $18 million in the project that is expected to create 40 permanent and 25 temporary jobs, process 200,000 tonnes of seed per year and produce value-added products such as canola oil and meal. This is just the latest example of how the province is attracting job-creating investment to diversify Alberta’s economy.
