Event Date
Have you ever wondered how to map your research project onto a story or wondered where to start? If so, come learn from Beth Tweedy, STEM Librarian at the UC Davis Library, about crafting engaging and effective stories to share your research. In this workshop we will discuss the parts of presenting that aren’t on your slides or poster. This includes considering your audience, presentation setting, and communication goals, crafting a compelling and interesting narrative, and how to deliver that narrative to your audience.
We’ll explore how to open with a hook that shows why your research matters, use storytelling to guide a non-specialist audience through your work, and choose the evidence that best supports your message. You’ll also learn how to design simple visual aids that help your audience follow your ideas while you speak.
This workshop is open to graduate students from any discipline and at any stage of their program. Whether you’re preparing for a three-minute research talk or looking to sharpen your skills for a conference or research showcase, you’ll leave with a practical structure for presenting your work clearly and confidently. This workshop is a part of the Road to Grad Slam series.
