On May 24, 2024 I blogged about how PhD students can give Three Minute Thesis speeches. That’s half the average of six minutes (five to seven range) for a typical Toastmasters speech.

 

There is an article by Joe Gettler at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Newsroom on February 18, 2025 titled 10 Scientists Compete in Research Slam at Brookhaven Laboratory. Their 2024 Research SLAM was held on December 5, 2024, and both early-career scientists and postdocs competed.

 

There also is a news article by Blessing (E. B.) Odunyi at the University of Calgary on February 28, 2025 titled Three minutes, endless impact: UCalgary’s Postdoc Research Slam celebrates innovation and storytelling. Each three-minute speech used a single slide. It was the seventh year for this competition. There is a YouTube video from February 26, 2025 with highlights from the 2025 event.
