Weekly Status Update #26: Desideratum
My weekly status update seems to have skipped a week again. If I keep this up, soon we’ll have a bi-weekly status update on our hands! This week featuring: PacificVis, VIS, lunch presentations, meetings and Anaal Nathrakh:

Weekly Status Update #20: VCBM
Wow, twenty weeks of the weekly status update already. Not bad! This week featuring: VCBM preparations, VCBM beginnings, VCBM dinner, VCBM social events and a VCBM presentation:

A video of the whole presentation I posted about earlier (also featuring my pelvis and a live demo of Cees-Willem‘s thesis work with the leap motion around the 15 minute mark):
Preparing for a Scientific Meeting for PhD Students
The noble art of preparing for a scientific meeting is perhaps not the most exciting skill in your career, but fruitful meetings are definitely an important component of a successful PhD project. This week I flew to Leeds to visit the Virtual Pathology team with my medical project partners. So, an anatomist, a surgeon and a pathologist walk into a meeting room… This doesn’t sound like the start of a great joke, so I’ll stop myself right there. What I would like to discuss in this blog post however are some tips for having successful meetings. In your PhD there will be many meetings to be had, so you might as well make the most of them. Of course there are several types of meetings: the regular meetings with your supervisory team to discuss your progress and plans, meetings with your project partners to discuss project progress and then there are meetings with other scientists to discuss the possibilities for collaborations.
Scientific Presentation Pro Tips Part 2: The Presentation
A while ago I wrote the first part of a series of posts on scientific presentation tips to present your research in a memorable and interesting way. In part 1, I described the preparation process, now it’s time for the actual presentation giving: what to do, what to wear and other convenient tips.
Scientific Presentation Pro Tips Part 1: The Preparation
In this post I’d like to give you some scientific presentation tips to present your research well. Over the years as a student and now PhD candidate I’ve given many a presentation and had many a course on giving good presentations. In my first couple of presentations I was a complete nervous wreck and could barely breathe, later on this ‘evolved’ into smiling during the entire presentation combined with (bad) improvisational jokes and now I can even state I actually look forward to preparing and giving presentations. I’d have to say the course I’ve learnt the most from was definitely ‘The Art of Presenting Science’ by the awesome Gijs Meeusen and his team, so some of the tips I’m writing about, I picked up there. I cannot recommend this course enough, so do try and take it somewhere if you’re able to. If you’re not, I believe Veronika will do a nice write up about this course at some point (edit: She did and it’s glorious! Check it out here!) . This post will describe phase one in the presentation giving process: the preparation. Whether you’re presenting for your research group, at a conference or elsewhere, always be prepared 🙂
