Hallå allesammans!

Finally–here is your feedback page! I just realised that it hadn’t been published and distributed to you for some reason.

Anyway, it’s always great to meet the Amgen Scholars groups. I hope you appreciated the viking Odyssey to Björkö as much as I did.

Below you will find a pdf with the lecture slides as well as a collection of links which I hope you will find useful.

You can email me anytime for feedback on your PPt slides or poster design – but remember to give me a couple of days to reply.

See you on 10 August for the workshop!

Mr SciComm = Kirk Englehardt

If you want a starting point for general science communication (hashtag #scicomm) your man is Kirk Englehardt from Georgia Tech. He knows what is going on, and presents summaries like this every week!

Crastina

My great pet project is Crastina (from Scientia Crastina, Latin for ‘The Science of Tomorrow’)—a networking platform for the exchange of knowledge, skills, experience and opinion regarding scientific communication and science dissemination. The primary target group is early career scientists, but here you can find stuff which is useful for anyone with an interest for communication. Read more.

There are several ways to engage in the Crastina network activities.

• The Facebook Page offers interesting links every day.

Hi everybody and thank you for your great presentations; I learned a lot! Below are some links and references which you can find useful (and perhaps entertaining).

These are my reflections on the presentations during the symposium.

1. Proper preparations boost self-confidence and increase your freedom of action. The opposite is also true. We saw examples of both during the day.
2. Step out of your comfort zone and into the scary spot on the floor in front of the audience—the spot from where you change the world.
3. Maintain eye contact. It will put you in charge and give you invaluable feedback.
4. Consider the temporal effect when you design your presentation: show your stuff in sequence, one detail at a time.
5. Love your subject and let the world know it!
6. Don’t fear silence; it helps you and your audience to focus and contemplate. Don’t fear questions; this is where you could really shine in front of your listeners. (However, see point 1. above.)

Finally: an applause for you who struggled with your nervousness, but kept yourself together and delivered. It’s your victory, and you should be proud of yourselves! Trust me: it will only be easier for every time you face and conquer your fears. So keep on practising during dinners and parties, giving small speeches in front of your friends and family.

Good luck, and bear in mind what the student Leonidas Georgiou once wrote to me: ”Lets face it: badly communicated science is boring and a big component of doing science is motivation; we can’t expect to motivate people without good communication skills!”
