Seminar "Communicating Scientific Presentations and Science Papers Effectively (4 hours)"
Prof. Alan Crivellaro
Date and room to be assigned

Communicating scientific presentations and science papers effectively is a workshop on science communication and writing that guides PhD students as they begin to communicate their science. The phrases 'giving a presentation' or 'writing a paper from scratch' strike fear into the hearts of PhD students. However, presenting orally and writing about scientific research is essential for young and experienced researchers. Therefore, this workshop designed for PhD students will guide them through what they need to know to create and deliver scientific knowledge.
