Description:

Chalk talks are a critical component of academic job searches. Yet, few postdocs have experienced or even observed a chalk talk. In this seminar, you will learn about the structure of a chalk talk, common mistakes, typical questions asked by search committees, and more generally how to communicate your science more effectively for grants, elevator pitches, and poster sessions.
