Excellent Public Speaking for Scientists
Thursday, December 08, 2022, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT
Category: National Webinars

Like graphing data, choosing controls, or mixing clear solutions — public speaking is a skill any scientist can learn. Public speaking skills are developed over time with practice and experience. Any time you give a science talk, you also give a job talk. Even if not being interviewed, there could always be a future boss in the room. You have the power to share a message and Dr. Joanne Kamens will help you format your speech.

Attendees will learn:

  • The fundamentals for preparing and delivering a public talk
  • How to keep the audience awake and interested
  • How to connect with the audience
  • and more!
