The Swedish Bioinformatics Advisory Program
Grand meeting 1, 2017 (April 25-26)
Preparations
PhD students:
Deadline Thursday April 20
Prepare a 5 min ppt presentation with 4 slides:
> One presenting yourself, your advisor, your PI, and other involved people in the project.
> One presenting your research question
> One with your available and planned data
> One presenting your current (bioinformatics) challenges
This is a very short presentation, and the audience is broad, so this is a good exercise in quickly explaining your research in a clear and understandable way. I need the slides in advance so that we don’t loose time in changing computers.- For the meeting
Each PhD student will get a 1-hour feedback session on her/his project, in small groups (3 projects per group). Make sure that you bring material/slides/discussion points readily available for these small group discussions. Your material should be as clear and focused as possible; it is up to you to prepare well to make these meetings valuable!
PhD supervisors and advisors:
You basically don’t need to prepare anything, but these meetings obviously rely on your presence and that you participate actively in the discussions and create a positive and encouraging atmosphere to support the PhD students, and creates valuable connections.
