Justine Broutin, IJPB PhD students, finalist in the competition "My thesis in 180 seconds" at the Paris-Saclay University!

Justine Broutin, a PhD student of the  "Nitrogen Use, transport and signaling" NUTS team, studies the mode of action and effect on plants of fertilization supplements. She is one of the 14 finalists among 41 candidates in the Université Paris-Saclay My thesis in 180 seconds (MT180) competition. The subjects covered will be very diverse. Justine broutin is the only representative of the plant world in 2025. The MT180 competition was originally created in Australia at the University of Queensland and has spread throughout the world. The version for French-speaking countries launched by Quebec exist for more than 10 years.

The rule: the 14 candidates have 180 seconds, no more, no less, to explain their research project with a single slide. It is therefore an arduous, but very instructive, exercice, to make ones thesis accessible to everyone in an attractive way, while demonstrating scientific rigor and creativity.

The selected candidates have the opportunity to participate in an oral training workshop to prepare for the final.
