Microwave Week 2023 Three Minute Thesis® (3MT®) co-chairs and committee members bring you the seventh webinar sponsored by the IEEE MTT-S Education Committee in support of communication skills for the broad dissemination of the outstanding scientific work produced by our community and in preparation for its flagship 2023 Microwave Week 3MT® Competition. We will show you how you can make almost any idea stickier, and a sticky idea is an idea that is more likely to survive beyond its enunciation and make a difference. We will discuss ways to engage and connect with your audience; highlight the importance of first impressions, storytelling, and purposeful gestures; elaborate on presentation do’s and don’ts; the importance of clarity, citation, acknowledgment, and gaining trust; those crucial first few seconds and your first few slides; and how to identify and avoid potential traps and pitfalls.

Communicating Your Science to the Public: Mastering the 3MT, Making Your Ideas Stick
You press the button for the 30th floor. As the doors close, frantic steps. You hold up your elevator. A woman enters. You recognize her: she is famously known for her investments in technological and scientific projects. After customary small talk, she asks you what you do. This is your chance, but time is running out. How do you present your vision to a powerful and potential advisor, champion, and investor, to get her to believe in you and your mission, to get her support, and make sure she will never forget you?
