One of my advisor's is very fond of the 3MT competition started by the University of Queensland, Australia. It is now a global science communication competition that often starts with a local/home university competition and then you make it up the ranks to compete in Australia. 3MT helps graduate students explain their research (or in my case one of my favorite chapters) in under three minutes. It is a test of being concise and compelling, very much like an elevator pitch. For those of you still not convinced, I won a $500 travel award which helped me attend the Botanical Society of America's #Botany2018 Meeting in Minnesota where I presented my work, a breakfast for my department in my honor and of course, a cool video and bragging rights! It was a wonderful opportunity. I have been encouraging every graduate student to give it a go! I want to try for first place in 2019!!

Hi, I'm Tanisha-- a lover of travel, culture, science (botany), Toby the polydactyl cat, Chariot the two legged cat, Caleb the sweet dog, watching instructional YouTube videos and vegetarian foods. I am from Washington, DC, and thus have a love of politics as well. I've studied environmental science and some science policy in Pennsylvania, California and South America. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in Connecticut. I have recently returned from my #Fulbright year abroad. Follow along with me as I share memories from South Africa, and discover botany, life, good food, and other experiences with a view! Archives
