Help Developing a Presentation & Practice Sessions

We are offering two sessions prior to the retreat to help our trainees develop a talk and to practice their session and get feedback from faculty and peers. They are scheduled for March 17, 12-1:30pm or March 29, 3-4:30pm.

Gary Shaw, Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, and Manuel Amieva will lead these sessions and they will focus on how to focus the content, record your session, and provide an opportunity to practice your presentation. Separate calendar invites will be sent to you with the Zoom details.

What happens if I mess up during my recording session? 

Your recording should be of the highest possible quality. If there is a major problem with the recording, like you’re interrupted in the middle of your presentation, you should start the recording over from the beginning (or, if you know how to edit video on your own, you can always cut that part out before you submit). We will not edit each individual video, so you should ensure the content you submit is exactly the way you want it. 

Where do I upload my video files and poster PDF? 

Please upload your final Zoom video files and PDF of your poster to the Research Retreat Box Folder by Presenter’s name. Upload files into box folder: 

• For Poster Presenters
• For Trainee Talks

Do I have to register for the Research Retreat? 

Yes, all presenters must register for the retreat in order to participate and gain access to your session.
