Three-minute thesis success

PhD research takes years of dedication with countless hours in the laboratory, out in the field or poring over data, but three minutes was all the time on the clock for FGC PhD student James Lee to share his research.

Mr Lee took part in the final of the Charles Sturt University (Charles Sturt) Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition in June. Read more in this news story.

James missed out on the prizes but did a great job presenting his research - congratulations to the winner Blake Collins.
