Each year the NHGRI Intramural Training Office sponsors the Three-Minute Talks (TmT) competition, in which trainees pitch their research topic and why they think it’s cool in just three minutes.
This page contains links to TmT presentations from previous years. Click on any of the presentation titles to view the videos or view the videos in a playlist on NHGRI's YouTube channel, GenomeTV.
