Since 2017, the Lister Family Engaged Science Initiative has supported the Lister Family Engaged Science Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition.

Thanks to the generous support of the Lister Family Engaged Science Initiative the following prizes will be offered at our 2024 competition: First place - $900; Second place - $600; Third place - $350; People’s Choice Award - $300.
