3MT is an annual competition held in more than 350 universities worldwide. Candidates have three minutes to explain their research to an audience of non-specialists, with the aid of a single, static PowerPoint slide. Heats are held in each College and three candidates from each Heat go forward to the Grand Final.
This year's 12 finalists spoke on a wide range of subjects including contemporary science fiction cinema, iodine insufficiency during pregnancy, the history of English, and 3D printing.
