But the bigger challenge? Squeezing all of that research into a three-minute presentation for the 2016 Georgia Tech Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;It was difficult to come up with a speech that would allow me to communicate complex ideas in three minutes,\u0026rdquo; said Kalelkar, who is pursuing his Ph.D. in chemistry. \u0026ldquo;I had to create multiple versions out of previous talks to my peers and colleagues to create the speech I used in the preliminaries.\u0026rdquo; \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMembers of the campus community are invited to watch Kalelkar and nine other doctoral students compete in the final round of the competition on Nov. 15 from 5-8 p.m. in the LeCraw Auditorium at Scheller College of Business. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe 3MT competition, which started at the University of Queensland in Australia and has spread to campuses around the world, is an event that challenges Ph.D. students to explain their research in three minutes in a way that someone with no knowledge of the subject would understand. Last year, Georgia Tech held its first annual 3MT event.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Presenting in the 3MT competition is a very challenging exercise,\u0026rdquo; Kalelkar said. \u0026ldquo;It reinforces the key aspects of your research and how to communicate them to a diverse audience.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe following students, who were selected during two preliminary rounds held in October, will compete for three research travel grants ranging from $2,000 to $1,000 and a $500 People\u0026rsquo;s Choice
