In addition to the intellectual exchange from the various presentations we offer workshops to create a space for hands on learning and improvement of practical skills relevant to graduate students. This year’s symposium will include the following workshops:
How to write your thesis 101
Struggling to get started on your thesis? Staring at a blank page, not sure what should come first? Never written anything this long and unsure how to structure it? Finding it hard to actually sit down and begin?
This thesis writing workshop led by the Postgraduate Researcher Development Team of the University of Cambridge will introduce and remind you of writing exercises and various techniques to help you with the planning. Main target group are PhD students towards the end of their project.
Storytelling for Science Communication
Our second workshop explores the power of storytelling to make scientific content engaging and memorable. You’ll learn what makes a story effective and how to apply classic narrative structures to your work. Discover the minimal elements of a story and how archetypes can strengthen your message. Through practical examples and interactive exercises, you’ll transform complex scientific ideas into captivating narratives. This workshop is led by Science Studios and is targeted for students at all stages.
