Chalk Talks with Scott Morgan
Chalk Talks are an increasingly important component of science communication. Once reserved for academic interviews, they are now common in industry and for tenure-track positions, such as the NIH Earl Stadtman Investigators program. This workshop will focus on the components that make an effective chalk talk and provide a safe place to practice new skills.
Topics include:
- Connection to job talks
- Relevance to faculty
- What to draw on the white/blackboard
- Levels of detail
- Question anticipation
- Tone and delivery
If you would like to attend, please contact Ms. Katherine Lamb (katherine.lamb@nih.gov).
