 In this episode of Amra’s Armchair Anecdotes, I sit down with Dr Katherine Firth to unpack how the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) transforms complex research into clear, human stories — and why mastering that skill can change your academic career.
From department heats to university wins and the Asia–Pacific submission, I share my own 3MT journey and include the full performance that took me there. 🎓 What you’ll learn: • What 3MT is — and why it matters • How to craft a strong opening, middle, and ending • Cutting jargon and choosing clean, vivid language • Using one slide as your storytelling anchor • Rehearsing in the real venue and managing nerves • When to memorise vs. use cue cards • The value of feedback between heats • Why 3MT builds career confidence — in academia, industry, and media • Ethical storytelling for sensitive research topics 🔗 Listen now: amrapajalic.com/podcast 🎧 Subscribe and follow for more insights, stories, and inspiration.
