The ARC Centre of Excellence in Convergent Bio-Nano Science and Technology (CBNS) is dedicated to arming our members with valuable skills and tools to meet future challenges and become research leaders.
One of the most important tools for a successful career is communication. Have you ever found yourself speechless trying to answer “What’s your research?” Have you found an articulate way to answer this frequently asked question? Or do you want to create a fun way to explain your findings?
Snap Science is based on the very successful Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition with a slight spin. We want videos of you explaining your research in an understandable and entertaining way that can help to raise awareness of your work.
Designed to be an outreach tool, you have flexibility in how you present to your camera – you can use props, song lyrics and/or audio but only as tools to solidify your words.
All CBNS Members! This means Honours, Masters and PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, senior researchers or even keen CIs.
