Science Media Centre is happy to announce:
Overview: PhD. is like a delicious dish with many ingredients. One ingredient goes missing, and the taste alters. Literature research, experimental work, verbal communication, written communication, presentation skill and understanding are the key ingredients here. Often in the tenure of PhD, one focuses more on the experimental work than everything else. Therefore, the flavor of the remaining ingredients is diminished. In this workshop, trained researcher and science writer Dr. Jidnyasa Mulekar will give lessons on these remaining flavors of a PhD programme.
Key Highlights:
1. Developing the concept of scientific communication
2. Basics of English language and grammar
3. How to maintain a good lab journal – recommended practices
4. Basics of writing a scientific journal article
5. How to present a paper to lay-readers
6. A session with a current post-doctoral fellow at NIH, Bethesda, USA on verbal communication skills (tentative)
Last Date for Registration: February 15, 2020
