Presentation Transcript

  1. Strengthening Science Communication Professional Workshop Series at the National University of Mongolia • Workshop #6 • “Presentation Draft Peer Review • WS #5 Wrap up, and Polishing the CV”

  2. Your Science Talk! • Reminder • Presentation Schedule: • March 22(Today): Continue presentation of draft slides - we will peer-review them as a group • Final Presentations: Mar 29 and Apr 5 (please sign sign-up sheet today)

  3. Your Science Talk! • Your talk should have the following format: • You can do it on your own research, research you will do in the future, OR a journal article. • If you choose the journal article, you need to clearly present it as the author’s work of course, and give proper credit. • Introduction (2) Set-up (3) Results (4) Implications (5) Summary/Conclusion

  4. The Top 5 Tips • 5. PRACTICE! PRACTICE! • 4. Keep within time limits! • 3. Makeit readable! 2. RESIST CLUTTER! • 1. TELL A STORY! • Making draft slides – and getting feedback on them - is a very important way of practicing!

  5. Peer-Review Procedure • We will come up, share our slides, one by one. We will look for ways to improve each slide. • Let’s make constructive comments – talking about how to build the presentation up, not tear it down.

  6. Strengthening Science Communication Professional Workshop Series at the National University of Mongolia • Workshop #6 • “Presentation Draft Peer Review • WS #5 Wrap up, and Polishing the CV”

  7. Parts of a Journal Article • Parts of a journal we came up with from last time: • - Abstract • - Introduction • - Methods/Materials • Results • Discussion/Implications • Conclusion/Summary

  8. Parts of a Journal Article • Let’s check out a paper, and look at each section briefly…

  9. Parts of Journal Article • Title/Author list – more info here than you may think! Last author often times is the Principal Investigator – the person who came up with the idea to be investigated, the basic methodology used, and procured the funding. First author usually did bulk of the actual experiments and writing – often times early career scientist Often by knowing the home institution and the names of the main authors, you can find out more info about this research group…

  10. What about Peer-reviewed sources? • Your turn (with a partner or two): Find an article that interests you on Web of Science (google “Web of Science – bookmark it!) or doaj.org or plos.org. • Use the handout as a guide to peruse the article. • In about 20-30 min, we’ll share out what articles you found, and the basic info you found out about them.

  11. What about Peer-reviewed sources? • To access the handout: • Go to SciCom dropbox folder • (2) Find March15Activity_group_names_here.doc • (Does it open for you?? Issues last week.) • (3) Immediately: “save as” with your names in the title. • Example: March15Activity_group_names_saruul_basaka.doc

  12. Strengthening Science Communication Professional Workshop Series at the National University of Mongolia • Workshop #6 • “Presentation Draft Peer Review • WS #5 Wrap up, and Polishing the CV”

  13. Components of a CV • *CV = curriculum vitae • *Gives the reader a “snapshot” of who you are professionally. • * The form can vary a lot. Tailor the parts to your strengths. • * Let’s check out a few examples

  14. Making/modifying your CV today • If you already have a CV: • - Is it in Mongolian or English? Decide if it would be useful to translate it into the other language. • - What modifications can you make to make it “cleaner”? • - Show it to a colleague in the workshop for feedback. • If you do not have a CV yet: • - Decide to make one in Mongolian or English. • - If you want, use a template in the SciCom folder OR go online and find one OR do your own thing.

  15. Next Time • March 29: Final Draft Presentations begin. Finish anything we didn’t get to today and (maybe) start the grant writing process • Which day did you sign up for?
