Professional Development Workshop: Conference Edition

Presenting original research at an academic conference can be an incredibly rewarding experience. While the extra line on your CV certainly does not hurt, the feedback that you receive is often as illuminating as it is invaluable. Preparing for a conference can be a bit challenging, though, especially when it comes time to condense a 35-40-page research paper or thesis chapter into a 15-20 minute presentation. This month’s PDW will focus on how to best prepare for academic conferences.
