Interested participants must RSVP for the February workshop via email by the end of January. Check the Careers Beyond Academia events calendar for more information.

Before participating in the workshop, doctoral students and postdocs must record a 10 minute research talk and upload it to a Cornell Box folder created for workshop participants. Workshop facilitators will review the talk and offer tips for improvement during the workshop.

The 10 minute talk should cover something the participant would present at a conference. Participants should also create a one minute elevator pitch of core research messages, including who they are, what they do, what they have found, and why it is important. Facilitators will use the elevator pitch to hone core messages and work on performance skills.
