PechaKucha (lightning talk) workshop May 23, 2018 12-1:30

You are invited to join a training session focused on increasing presentation effectiveness to be held 12:00-1:30 May 23 room 306 School of Social Work.  Please reply to Paula Nurius (nurius@uw.edu) asap about your interest in attending!!

Dr. Carrie Lanza brings depth of experience with these presentation formats as well as use of visual forms of science communication more broadly. Even if you have had some exposure, this session will provide more depth.

Carrie suggests bringing the following to the session. These will not be collected and are more thought aids.

1. Please collect images (ideally 20 if you have time but enough to give you initial ideas) that help illustrate your research.
2. Free write (in lay person’s terms) a story about your research. As Associate Dean Walters would say, “research is mesearch.” Tell folks about what personally drew you to your topic. Set the stage for the urgency of your research. Why should your audience care? What does your work contribute to addressing this issue?

Aim: To create a powerful, succinct, accessible narrative about your research.

Objectives:

To learn to effectively use images to concisely convey a compelling  story about your research

To learn some skills for effective storytelling and presentation confidence!
