  • This 2 day workshop is designed to im your communication skills. As a PhD candidate, you spend several years deeply exploring a given field, but how do you present your work and yourself when you go to conferences, when you do outreach events, when you talk to your family about your work, or when you are trying to get a job? Thinking about improving your communication skills will help you attract interest to your research and to yourself and increase your chances of successful collaborations and future professional work.

 

  • The workshop consists of highly interactive team-based activities, where you will get to know yourself and your colleagues better, and explore storytelling as a way to transmit your message more effectively. It will cover the basics of storytelling and body language and alternative but useful visual communication techniques for presentations and posters, all of which you can practically apply immediately when you attend conferences, present your work in lab meetings, or when you are being interviewed for your next job.
