Hello students!
I'd like to announce (and give latest updates) on this year's student workshop
at the European Cetacean Society conference in Liege on Saturday, the 5th of
April.
“I have a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very
long career…” - Taken
That's all well and good if you're an assassin, Liam Neeson. As a scientist
however, your skills need to be a lot broader. These include the ability to
communicate well, to look at the bigger picture, and handy statistical tips.
They are, however, not easy to acquire and are not readily taught at schools
and universities. They need to be more interactive than just reading
information out of a book or through a lecture. They are only gained from
experience.
The aim of this year’s student workshop is to give students advice on enhancing
these skills throughout their scientific careers – advice that can only be
given by the experienced. A collection of experienced scientists will give
talks on various topics (see below) and try and answer any questions the
students may have.
Presenters include:
Mel Cosentino - Do's and don'ts of social networkingHanna Nuuttila - Networking
at conferencesAndrew Wright - Tips and tricks on ExcelPeter Evans - Scientific
writing and publishingPaddy Pomeroy - Applying for funding MORE TO BE CONFIRMED
Workshop will start in the am and go on until after lunch. Please e-mail
tvrdco@st-andrews to reserve a place on the workshop.
Thank you for your attention,
Toby Rosas da Costa OliverECS Student Representative
