Georgia State Ph.D. Student Wins First Place in Psych Science-in-3 At American Psychological Association Conference

Georgia State Ph.D. Student Wins First Place in Psych Science-in-3 At American Psychological Association Conference

CHICAGO – Mary Fernandes, a Ph.D. candidate in clinical neuropsychology at Georgia State University, won first place in the 2019 Psych Science-in-3 Competition Aug. 9 at the American Psychological Association’s (APA) annual conference.

Fernandes gave a three-minute presentation entitled, “The Associations Between Pupillary Response Patterns to Emotional Faces and Self-Reported Social Anxiety,” competing against more advanced doctoral students as well as postdoctoral contestants.

The competition required participants to explain their thesis or dissertation research succinctly, in a compelling way that non-specialists can understand. Fernandes mastered these skills at Georgia State through the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition held at the university in March, where she won first prize in the doctoral student category. She also won the People’s Choice award in the category.
