Tuesday, November 3 2015, 12:30pm 320 LeConte Hall Presenting original research at an academic conference can be an incredibly rewarding experience. While the extra line on your CV certainly does not hurt, the feedback that you receive is often as illuminating as it is invaluable. Preparing for a conference can be a bit challenging, though, especially when it comes time to condense a 35-40-page research paper or thesis chapter into a 15-20 minute presentation. This month’s PDW will focus on how to best prepare for academic conferences. Graduate students Derrick Angermeier and James Owen will cover everything from planning your presentation to dealing with last minutes surprises (e.g. “Oh, you prepared a 20 minute presentation? Surprise! You now have 10 minutes to describe your opus). As always, this event includes FREE LUNCH. Please RSVP to Nicole so we know how much to plan for!
