Professional Development Tip #1: Introducing yourself at
a science conference
• Before you go, think about how your research relates to
the main topics of the conference, or of senior
researchers you hope to meet (Even if you are just
starting on a project, this gives you a chance to think
about a larger context for your work).
• Come up with 2-3 sentences to describe your research.
(You can practice ahead of time with a colleague or ask
your advisor for help in crafting the sentences)
• When introducing yourself, say your name, your
institution, and then describe your work (avoiding
unfamiliar words or “jargon”).
