Do you want to know the secret to making your cancer research engage, motivate and excite diverse audiences? Whether it’s talking to the public or other researchers, tune in for a deep dive into powerful strategies for effective communication.

2021 Comprehensive Cancer PhD Program Student Symposium

Tuesday 16th November, 11.45am-12.45pm AEDT

Let’s face it, explaining your scientific research so that it’s accurate and comprehensible can be hard. However, explaining it in a way that’s engaging, interesting and that hooks an audience from start to finish is even harder. While we get training on the former, rarely do we get training on the latter.

In this interactive workshop, you will learn:

• How delivering engaging presentations can boost your career

• The importance of understanding your audience

• Ways to make your science sound more interesting

• Tips to make your presentation stand out

• Strategies to improve your presenting skill 

This workshop will be delivered by zoom for the EMCR network at the research institutes of University of Queensland (AIBN, IMB, QBI)

Are you building a STEM business in Queensland?

We're founders seeking other founders to spark collaborations, share networks, and learn from each other. We’re also keen to see what other challenges founders are facing and brainstorm solutions to find how we can build a stronger sector within Queensland.

Join us at the 'STEAM Room' virtually or in-person on 26th October (2pm-5pm) at the Precinct, Fortitude Valley. To register and more information: https://events.humanitix.com/the-steam-room

‘STEAM Room’ is an independently-organized Spark Festival event.

Relay For Life is a fun and moving experience that raises vital funds for the Cancer Council’s research, prevention, information and support services. Relay is a chance for the Brisbane community to recognise and celebrate local cancer survivors, patients and their carers, to honour and remember loved ones lost to cancer and to raise money to help save more lives. At the event, Excite Science will be testing out the new Cancer ARt gallery project for the first time. Come along if you want to see the first art pieces from the gallery!

In preparation for the upcoming annual St Vincent’s Campus Research Symposium, Dr Ken Dutton-Regester will be presenting a seminar on ‘How to use Twitter for Academic Dominance’. Tune in for real-world examples of how Twitter can benefit your research career, how best to use the platform, and tips on structuring an eye-catching and informative Tweetorial. Members from the St Vincent’s Media and Communication team will also cover how to use Tweet Deck and pre-record presentations for the St Vincent’s Campus Research Symposium.

Note that this is a closed event, for researchers on the St Vincent’s Campus.

Now in it’s 29th year, the St Vincent’s Campus Research Symposium brings together the brightest minds across our NSW Campus to share their research with peers.

SILBERSALZ is a young, innovative and international film and science festival that supports scientific discourse and brings current research to life. The SILBERSALZ Science and Media Pitch is a matchmaking platform for scientists and media professionals interested in the communication of science to a global public audience.

Dr Ken Dutton-Regester will be presenting the Cancer ARt Gallery, a series of augmented reality artworks using pop-culture and nostalgic themes to explain cancer biology. In Part 1 of the Science and Media Pitch, meet seven promising factual projects presented by filmmakers as well as scientific discoveries by scientists with the potential to be developed into fascinating stories for a broad audience.

Achieving career success in science needs more than good technical and research skills. In this seminar, Dr Ken Dutton-Regester will outline how you can get a competitive edge when seeking career opportunities, by focusing on skill sets others neglect to work on.

During the webinar, you will learn how to: Improve your visibility and position yourself as an expert; Use social media effectively to create opportunities and advance your career; Transition into new roles, whether in or outside of academia.
