Mastering Science Presentations Instructional Seminar

Four opportunities for you to schedule this popular professional development session:

Tim Miller  Spoken Science Monday, April 25 5:30-7:00 pm San Francisco Marriott Marquis Hotel, Yerba Buena Salons 4, 5, 6 Wednesday, April 27 7:30-8:30 am San Francisco Marriott Marquis Hotel, Yerba Buena Salon 3

The scientific process is not just about generating ideas; it is about freely sharing those ideas with the broader world. Now, more than ever, the ability to recruit students, attract colleagues, garner attention, and secure funding is tied to your ability to successfully communicate the results of your work, both to peers and to the general public.

Communications expert Tim Miller has spent his career helping scientists and students bring their work out of the laboratory and share it with broader audiences. For a variety of reasons, communicating your research with nonexperts is an important skill. In this session, you will learn the fundamentals of sharing science as Miller explains how to choose the very best tools to do the job of communication, and reveals some of the tips and tricks that can help you take your scientific presentations to the next level.  

Greta M. Zenner Petersen  University of Wisconsin-Madison Tuesday, April 26 5:00-6:00 pm San Francisco Marriott Marquis Hotel, Yerba Buena Salon 3 Wednesday, April 27 5:00-6:00 pm San Francisco Marriott Marquis Hotel, Yerba Buena Salon 3

In this session, you will learn the fundamentals of sharing science as Greta M. Zenner Petersen, with the aid of education video resources, explains how to choose the very best tools to do the job of communication, and shares some of the tips and tricks that can help you take your scientific presentations to the next level.
