LoboBITES are three-minute presentations on a thesis, dissertation, or other substantial research project or scholarly activity, similar to the trademarked Three Minute Thesis (3MT).
Think of them as short TED talks. Graduate students present their research in a compelling and approachable way, using language and terms appropriate for a general, non-academic audience. Presentations are judged by a panel consisting of UNM and Albuquerque community members.
Top contestants can win up to $1,000 in scholarships and a paid trip to represent the University of New Mexico at a regional competition. The greatest benefit of this event is gaining experience in communicating your research/scholarly activity in an efficient, clear, and engaging way to a diverse group of listeners. All currently enrolled UNM graduate students are eligible to participate.
