Première semaine de contrat, mais déjà de nombreux projets au programme !
Cette semaine, je participe à deux séminaires pour présenter mes travaux.
Aujourd'hui, je serai au séminaire organisé par les jeunes chercheurs de mon laboratoire, qui portera sur l’incertitude. Lors de ce colloque, je reviendrai sur un élément de ma thèse : les séismes ayant frappé Strasbourg en 2019 et 2020. Il sera bien sûr question d’incertitude, mais surtout de la manière dont ces séismes ont permis une prise de conscience du sous-sol auprès des habitants et des élus locaux. Ces derniers cherchent désormais à reprendre le contrôle de cette question, notamment à travers la mise en place de mécanismes de gouvernance territorialisée.
Demain, direction la région parisienne ! Sur l’invitation de deux chercheurs du LATTS, je montrerai comment le sous-sol peut contribuer à la transition énergétique. Je prendrai l’exemple de deux filières, la géothermie et le lithium, pour illustrer comment une politique publique se traduit par le développement de projets concrets. Je montrerai également comment ces projets « atterrissent » sur les territoires pour y être débattus, soulevant ainsi des questions sur les enjeux démocratiques de la transition et des choix opérés. #PhdChat #ESR

“But that’s the way talks have always been done!” – academia has a huge status quo bias, change is slow.

Embrace your rebellious side and go do your talks differently! Audiences get bored, so novelty is a big asset. And by doing it YOUR WAY, it’ll be more honest, authentic, and genuine.

What do I do with my hands?

They can direct the audience’s attention to the right place, add emphasis to what you say, & provide variety to keep the audience engaged.

They can also indicate: big things, small things, precise things, vague things, contrasting things, & connected things.

Remember: the slides are for the audience, not for you the presenter.

If you’re putting stuff on your slides to help you remember what’s next, try another way.

Presenter view in PPT lets you have notes for each slide, or cue cards work too, but best of all, learn the talk.
