This event will be offered again on Wednesday, October 4 at noon. You can choose your preferred date on the registration form.
The presenter is Sherry Seethaler, author of Beyond the Sage on the Stage: Communicating Science and Contemporary Issues Effectively, which will be published by the University of Toronto Press in early 2024.
Every presentation you give is an opportunity to reach new colleagues across disciplines, to market yourself, to impress potential funders, and to broaden awareness about the importance of your field. Yet, we all regularly see speakers that squander the opportunity and lose the audience by falling into the many multimedia presentation pitfall traps. This presentation on presentations will draw from scholarship in cognitive science, neuroscience and psychology to provide evidence-based practical tips on optimizing language, visuals, organization and flow, including strategies for enhancing accessibility and inclusivity. You will also come away with an understanding of how you can work with your own physiology to reduce presentation nerves and boost your presentation poise.

The presenter is Kim Rubinstein, a UC San Diego professor emeritus and a nationally renowned theatre director who has directed plays and won awards at prestigious theatres around the country.
Research indicates that the subtleties of voice, body language and gesture highly influence audience engagement and understanding of the information being communicated. In this workshop you will learn and practice vocal and gestural techniques, or “scoring the text” of your talks. “Scoring the text” can include vocal techniques such as shifts in tone and volume, strategic use of pauses, and choosing words or phrases to emphasize what you say. Body language techniques include the use of signifying gestures to help the audience visualize and remember key concepts, and the use of spatial relationship to your audience. “Scoring the text” using these techniques can result in more effective presentations and more long-lasting impact on your listeners.

The presenter is Martina Maritan, scientific communication lead at Nanome and winner of the Best Scientific Poster at the 2021 Visualizing Biological Data conference.
Poster sessions are a fantastic way to network with colleagues in and across disciplines and connect with potential funders, but they can feel daunting to design and awkward to present. Whether you are a first-time poster presenter figuring out how to get started or an experienced poster presenter looking to polish your style, this session will offer tips you can use. It will cover what you should (and should not) put on your poster, what makes an effective title, how to organize your content, as well as evidence-based design principles illuminated with examples from different fields. Specific considerations for both face-to-face and virtual conferences will be discussed. Because your poster is an entry point for a conversation, this session will also explore what it means to “walk someone through” your poster and how to comfortably engage in a fruitful discussion that can lead to new collaborations (and impress the judges).
