According to GradProSkills:

"The Three Minute Thesis and Project competition is an annual, international event that challenges graduate students to present their research in easy-to-understand terms to a non-specialist audience.  Participants are to present a clear, concise and engaging presentation of their work in a total of three minutes, with no props and only one non-animated PowerPoint slide. Check out some of the winning presentations from previous years on our YouTube channel." (Source: http://www.concordia.ca/students/gradproskills/events/3-minute-thesis-project.)

Michelle Savard won the Runner-Up award in the PhD category for her presentation, "A 'Hand-up' Not a 'Handout.'" She received a $150 gift certificate to the Concordia Bookstore.  Nathalie Duponsel won the People’s Choice award for her presentation, "I Am the Father of the Table." She received a $100 gift certificate.
