A presenter stands on stage in a superhero pose next to a screen that shows a cartoon image of four skyscrapers with lungs, a heart, kidneys and a brain in front of each with one super villain with "CRS" on his chest, a superhero with "Corticosteroids" on her cape and a side kick mouse hovering in the sky. A person stands in front of a blue backdrop with the UB logo on it. He is holding a large check for $2,000 for his first-place award in the Three Minute Thesis competition. President Satish K.
