How to make people care about your data

Nov 20, 2019, 4:00 – 6:00 PM

He doesn't know who you are. He doesn’t know what you want. He doesn’t have a PhD... but what he does have is a very particular set of skills. Skills he's acquired over a very long career in public speaking and pitching to clients. Skills that make him a must-see for postdocs like you. In this interactive workshop, he will teach you tips and techniques that will guarantee you stop presenting boring seminar presentations and posters to audiences who (may or may not) care about your research.

In this interactive seminar, Kathleen will teach us how she built InPrint, a scientific editing network, and how it helped support her research career. InPrint is a trainee-run scientific editing network and resource that provides free, confidential editing of scientific communications to the Washington University in St. Louis research community. InPrint editors work with clients to provide prompt, concrete edits and writing suggestions for manuscripts, abstracts, fellowship proposals, presentations, cover letters, and more.
