How to influence others with your research
Description
Presenter: Dr Inger Mewburn
Zoom password: Influence
In the age of skepticism about experts, it’s even more important we learn to communicate our research to a wide range of audiences.
In this workshop we will learn:
- How the brain processes text and images in our presentations
- How to communicate complex ideas with concrete analogies and metaphors
This workshop is designed specifically for candidates who are doing the Visualise your thesis competition and the Three Minute Thesis but the principles work for any presentation.

Your Job Application and Interview (UC Careers 4 Part Series)
Important Information
This series is for HDR candidates only
Description
This workshop will show you how to put together a job application that makes the most of your new qualifications.
The key to successfully navigating recruitment is to align your professional self to your audience. Did you know for example, that you need to change your resume for every job that you go for? Not all universities are the same, and they expect you to tailor your academic resume to their specific context. Similarly, recruitment processes differ in different industries and organisations. Understanding the employer’s perspective at the pointy end of your job search is half the battle won.

Shut Up & Write 23 Sep 2021 (Online)
Important Information

Description
What is Shut Up & Write!?
Shut Up & Write! is a writing group that not only helps you get words written but is fun, social and supportive. Academia can be a lonely business... only if you let it be.
Writing groups have magical powers for graduate students and researchers: They can boost the quality of your writing, keep you going when you're distracted or despondent, accelerate your productivity, increase your confidence – as well as kick-start many of the essential skills required in a research career. Plus, they offer a lot of other benefits to help you survive and thrive (Aitchison and Guerin, 2014).
What is involved?
Using the 'Pomodoro Technique', we'll spend 25 minutes writing in silence followed by a ten-minute break where you can chat with others, share ideas or go for a walk. We'll repeat this cycle four times and you will be amazed at just how much you can achieve in two hours.
To help you focus your writing and maximise productivity, it helps to have specific goals (i.e. section of a paper or chapter and number of words).
We also encourage you to put your phone on silent and stay off the internet during writing time.
How will it work?
Online: Remote participants are invited to login to the Shut Up & Write! Zoom room by 9:25am where we will live stream the session from the UC campus. Zoom link and password will be sent to you in a Confirmation Email after registration.
In person: To abide by health and safety regulations, social distancing measures will be in place. Participants attending in person must ensure 1.5 metres distance from all other participants. Disinfectant wipes will be provided for you to wipe down your desk station before and after use.
Please arrive by 9:25am and settle in. Coffee/drink orders will need to be placed before the first pomodoro (starting at 9:30am) with the Researcher Development representative. Coffees will be made by the café barista and clearly labelled. Participants are instructed to take only their labelled drink to minimise handling of orders.

What is Shut Up & Write!?
Shut Up & Write! is a writing group that not only helps you get words written but is fun, social and supportive. Academia can be a lonely business... only if you let it be.
Writing groups have magical powers for graduate students and researchers: They can boost the quality of your writing, keep you going when you're distracted or despondent, accelerate your productivity, increase your confidence – as well as kick-start many of the essential skills required in a research career. Plus, they offer a lot of other benefits to help you survive and thrive (Aitchison and Guerin, 2014).
What is involved?
Using the 'Pomodoro Technique', we'll spend 25 minutes writing in silence followed by a ten-minute break where you can chat with others, share ideas or go for a walk. We'll repeat this cycle four times and you will be amazed at just how much you can achieve in two hours.
To help you focus your writing and maximise productivity, it helps to have specific goals (i.e. section of a paper or chapter and number of words).
We also encourage you to put your phone on silent and stay off the internet during writing time.
How will it work?
Online: Remote participants are invited to login to the Shut Up & Write! Zoom room by 9:25am where we will live stream the session from the UC campus. Zoom link and password will be sent to you in a Confirmation Email after registration.
In person: To abide by health and safety regulations, social distancing measures will be in place. Participants attending in person must ensure 1.5 metres distance from all other participants. Disinfectant wipes will be provided for you to wipe down your desk station before and after use.
Please arrive by 9:25am and settle in. Coffee/drink orders will need to be placed before the first pomodoro (starting at 9:30am) with the Researcher Development representative. Coffees will be made by the café barista and clearly labelled. Participants are instructed to take only their labelled drink to minimise handling of orders.
