With only three minutes to present their PhD topics in a consolidated and engaging manner, the contestants competed to take out the heat and advance to the next round.
The array of topics covered was diverse, ranging from managing finances, 18th century Tasmanian criminals, energy efficient shopping malls and even a philosophy question on interpretation. All students delivered impressive performances.
With the People's Choice Award and poster competition winners announced, the winner of the UTAS 3MT final heat was announced as marine conservation enthusiast Halley Durrant from the UTAS School of Zoology.
