Women in Science & Engineering (WISE) Conference: 5MT Competition Abstract Collection

On Saturday January 25th, 2025, the 5 Minute Thesis (5MT) Competition took place at the 2025 Women in Science & Engineering (WISE) Conference. Participants from universities across Ontario presented their research in the form of 5-minute presentation with a singular slide. This abstract collection provides a summary of the amazing work being done by women in the fields of engineering, biology and chemistry. We come together to celebrate their achievements and continue to advocate and promote the presence of women in spaces of research.
