Jorge Cham, the artist behind PhD Comics and The PhD Movie, has created a ‘Two Minute Thesis’ contest. Can you use plain language to summarize your PhD thesis in two minutes? You could win the opportunity to have your thesis illustrated by Cham as part of the PhD Comics new venture PhD TV.
All of the details for submitting are clearly posted on the PhD Comics website – so I won’t repeat them here. I will however, say that his is a pretty excellent opportunity with some unique and substantial prizes. What better keepsake for your years in graduate school than a fantastic two minute animation to show off to friends and family members?
