<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTarget Audience<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Doctoral students and postdocs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Takeaway<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Participants got feedback on a selection of their figures, slides and posters submitted ahead of the webinar. In an exercise, they will drew a sketch of their research (a graphical abstract) and discussed it with other participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Format<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
- Interactive online workshop<\/strong>: fundamentals, real examples, and practical advice<\/li>
- Commenting on pre-submitted figures and slides: <\/strong>ahead of the webinar, participants submitted their science communication materials, and I prepared a selection. During the training participants got suggestions on how to improve their own materials from the presenter and peers.<\/li>
- Q&A, exercises, and discussion: <\/strong>we tried to solve the most pressing issues they had with their science communication.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nMy goal is to help scientists effectively communicate their ideas and results and make an impact with their research. Communication is my professional passion. I read and study eclectically, always on the lookout for approaches from diverse \ufb01elds that can be readily applied by scientists. I distill the principles and broadly applicable practices into easy to follow and enjoyable learning experiences. I want to create the world\u2019s best transferrable communication skills training. I hold a PhD (2011) and was a PostDoc in computer science, am a Fulbright alumnus and a published photographer.
I worked as Head of computer vision at a startup, as a project evaluator for the European Commission and a grant writer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nRegistration<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The workshop is fully booked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The workshop usually is open to all interested PhD students but members of the iRTG of the SFB TRR 102 were given priority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
