2025 CSGS 3MT regional winner

We are excited to share that Kathryn Glorioso from MUSC has won the Conference of Southern Graduate Schools (CSGS) Regional Three Minute Thesis Competition! Her presentation titled “Hold on to your Cast Iron! Cooking up a Better Target for Diabetes Drugs” was previously presented at MUSC’s Alumni Weekend in February to much praise.

The 3MT competition, originally developed by the University of Queensland in 2008, is now an internationally celebrated event that cultivates students' academic, presentation and research communication skills.

Participants are tasked with effectively summarizing their research in just three minutes, using language accessible to a non-specialist audience.

At the CSGS conference, Kate won her heat and went on to take first place for the regional competition. She will continue on to the National Competition for 3MT later in the year.
