Congratulations to PHAS student Katie Rink (Astronomy), who shared the top prize in UBC Undergraduate 3 Minute Thesis competition!

To participate in the UBC Undergraduate 3MT, students submit a video of the presentation of their directed studies or honours thesis. They will then receive feedback from a panel of UBC faculty adjudicators outside of their field of study; outstanding students are then invited to compete for cash prizes in the live competition. Two students from PHAS - Katie Rink and Steffani Grondin - made the top 10 students and both proceeded to the Undergrad 3MT Final.

Katie is sharing the top presenter cash prize with fellow student Laurel Neufeld (Microbiology).
