Hi everyone,

Hey APECS members!

 

Are you planning to attend your next conference? We all know that one of the most important parts of establishing a successful science career (or any career for that matter) is the networking of colleagues you create. Conferences are a great way to meet people, share your ideas, develop new projects, learn new techniques, find your next employer or employee, and sometimes even have a little fun :)

 

APECS has created a new resource for you that will help you navigate conferences! How do you write an abstract about your work? How to design your oral or poster presentation so you clearly and concisely share your research with others? What are some tips for you to remember when looking for funding to attend the conference? Are you a session convener / chair and need some guidance on the responsibilities that you have take on in this great leadership role? Or do you want to organize a side workshop or panel at the conference and need some tips and tricks on things to keep in mind in the planning process? Check out our new APECS Conference Tips webpage at http://apecs.is/conference-tips with some great advice on all of the questions above.

 

If you can think of anything we might have missed, please let us know at info@apecs.is

 

Cheers,
