Hi,
We are planning a Post Graduate Work in Progress Seminar Series for the academic year 2008/09. This will be an opportunity for research students (FT and PT) and perhaps also Masters students undertaking/completing their dissertation to present their research to their immediate peers. The seminars will be held on Wednesdays from 5.30 pm onwards. One paper will be presented within 35 to 40 minutes which leaves time for about 20 minutes discussion afterwards. After the presentation something social can be arranged (like a get-together or going to the pub)…Whether supervisors or other academic staff are invited will be left to the discretion of the speakers.
The seminar series is a good opportunity for research/masters students to gain experience in presenting in a relatively pressure-free, supportive environment or to practice for a presentation at a conference or congress. It will also give FT and PT students a chance to get together from time to time since we all don’t seem to see too much of each other.
In order to make it all happen we will need volunteers to give papers as well as to chair the sessions. So, please do not ignore this message right now but let it sink in for a few days…we are sure you all have interesting results to share!
A timetable for the seminars will be sent out once we know how many people want to present.
Any questions, offers or participation agreements please send to b.diethart@worc.ac.uk.
Best wishes,
Berni (Diethart) and Sharon (Young)

I just don’t understand what you do! Tired of explaining your research, only to get this reply?
Scientists are increasingly being asked to communicate the social and ethical aspects of their research. However, there are few opportunities for early-career researchers to develop their skills in discussing these issues.
Perspectives, a poster session with a difference, gives you valuable experience in discussing your research with a non-specialist audience. The scheme also provides training in producing and presenting a poster. Finalists will present their posters at the BA Festival of Science in Liverpool, where prizes will be awarded by a panel of expert judges. Perspectives is open to postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers funded by the UK research councils.
Application deadline: 21 May 2008
