Everyone has questions about how to best communicate their knowledge. How can statisticians share their expertise clearly and effectively in presentations and in their writing?
Is it the message that makes a presentation great? Is it the delivery? Or, is it the strong conviction projected by the speaker? Maybe it is a combination of all of these things? And how can you increase the chances of getting your paper published or your grant proposal funded?
Join a conversation that will give you some time-tested advice to help you navigate these tough questions.
Target Audience: Anyone is invited to attend!
Speakers are distinguished statistical leaders from academia and industry who bring an incredible wealth of experience and perspective. Each panelist will share ideas that focus on the priorities they bring when they prepare for a presentation or are writing a paper or grant. In addition, both will provide advice and guidance for those who are non-native English speakers.
If you have questions about presenting or writing up your research, then this conversation is one that you won't want to miss!
This is the second in a series of virtual meet-ups for the NISS Academic Affiliate's audience.
Future virtual meet-up topics will be announced soon!
