The 3MT Competition at HUPO was a truly inspiring showcase of creativity, clarity, 
and scientific communication. Twelve PhD students embraced the challenge of presenting their complex research in just three minutes, using only one static slide and speaking as if to a lay audience. Their ability to distil intricate proteomics topics into accessible, engaging presentations was remarkable, demonstrating impressive precision, confidence, and dedication. The session captivated everyone in the room and highlighted the strength of the next generation of researchers. A standout moment came from Ruxandra Bighiu, who captivated the audience with the fascinating world of hearing proteins.”
