How can you elevate your conference presentation? As conference season approaches, it was great to see so many PGRs at our Lunch & Learn last week on ‘How to Elevate your Conference Presentation’. Here are our 3 favourite tips from the workshop: ⭐ Pick that one thing! Conference presentations are not a place to explain your whole thesis, so making sure to focus your presentation on one argument/question/hypothesis that will create an engaging and coherent presentation! ⭐ Don't fear the Q&A! Consider the Q&A as a precious chance for conversation, not as an inquisition. ⭐ Make the slides your backup dancers, and you're Beyoncé! Bookings for our next Lunch & Learn ‘How to use AI in Postgraduate Research’ are now open. Find out more and book your place here➡️ https://ow.ly/EBy750QSj9M
