I was invited to give a presentation about how to successfully present your research, aimed mostly at new grad students. It offered me a chance to reflect and think a lot about all the things (yes, some of them are pretty neurotic) that I do when I need to effectively communicate about my research AND manage myself before/during/after giving a talk. Bill Hammond organized the event for the Botany Graduate Student Organization, and I believe they'll be hosting more of these in the future. If you are interested in sharing your tips, let Bill know! He can be reached on twitter @wmhammond. It was a fun time and the group had a lot of thoughtful questions for me.
