Upcoming Workshops
Scoring the Text: Boosting the Power and Impact of Your Research Talks Friday, Feb. 16, 10 a.m. to noon.
Research indicates that the subtleties of voice, body language and gesture highly influence audience engagement and understanding of the information being communicated. In this workshop, with Professor Emeritus Kim Rubinstein, you will learn and practice vocal and gestural techniques, or “scoring the text” of your talks. To register for this workshop and find out about other trainings, visit the Research Communications Program website.
