In the scientific community, it’s important to always be ready to talk about yourself and the important work you are doing. This fun and interactive workshop will cover how to:

• Create an engaging personal elevator pitch;

• Craft, organize, and distill complex material into a compelling narrative;

• Overcome nerves and minimize filler words;

• Keep your audience engaged whether you’re presenting online or in-person; and

• Have an impact and connect with any audience.

This session is open to all scientists at all levels. However, spots are limited, and preference will be given to participants who register in advance.
