Three-Minute Thesis-Style Video Competition
As part of this year’s ASM, the RESPIRE PhD students were asked to submit a 3-minute video of their research. We had some fantastic entries which were scored by our judging panel, comprising of members of our partners institutions and the RESPIRE International Steering Committee.
The videos which received the top-three highest scores were invited to present live during the ASM and answer audience questions, with a poll to determine the ultimate winner.
With her presentation called ‘mHealth for Pneumonia (and COVID-19) Prevention’, Hana Mahmood was the overall winner.
The two runners-up were Ahmed Ehsanur Rahman, with his presentation ‘Feasibility of introducing pulse oximetry in routine IMCI services in rural Bangladesh’, and Lois King with her presentation ‘Exploring the interplay between political prioritisation practices in global health and childhood pneumonia governance in Bangladesh’
“When I was preparing my presentation, frankly it was not for winning but for showcasing what my PhD was all about. These three minutes was all I had to tell the world what my research was and I wanted it to be clear, crisp and to the point. I guess that thought worked!”

Additionally, the RESPIRE Fellows gave presentations which outlined their work across the four RESPIRE Partner counties: Malaysia, Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.
