Feature Friday: #postitnotePhD

You’ve probably heard of ways scientists are communicating about their research in short and succinct ways. Like the three minute thesis (3MT) competition, where people have one static slide and three minutes to explain their thesis.

Well this Feature Friday, I thought I’d introduce you to a Twitter Trend going around called #postitnotePhD, where PhD candidates are challenged to illustrate their research on a post-it note. You don’t have to be an artist, but those that are especially engaging use colours, arrows and minimal text to explain the picture.

The trend really speaks for itself so I won’t hold you up from checking it out!

Are you feeling up for the challenge? We’d love to see your versions, tag us if you give it a try! We’re on Twitter at @unimelbscicomm
