Nabilah Sammudin awarded at the UChicago 3-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition

Congratulations to our CON graduate student Nabilah Che Sammudin (Zhuang lab) for winning first place in The University of Chicago’s Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. She presented her research titled "The Dopamine Dip: How the Brain Learns to Let Go". Great job!

In a 3MT competition, PhD student participants prepare a three-minute presentation about their research using only one static slide. By synthesizing their work into three-minute presentations, participants learn to showcase their work to a broader audience and improve their public speaking skills. The focus of their presentation should be their original research, pitched in an engaging way to a general audience that underlines the significance and impact of their work.
