Communicating Science to Nonscientists
Tuesday, January 22nd | 3:00pm – 5:00pm | E25-111
Back by popular demand, MIT is thrilled to welcome Dr. Jean-luc Doumont for his annual IAP lectures on excellence in communication.

Nonscientists often see science as impenetrable and scientists as unsociable introverts hiding in labs. In turn, researchers wonder how they could possibly explain their work in a clear yet scientifically correct way to people outside their own field. This lecture explores the challenges of communicating science to nonscientists (and, to a point, to fellow scientists as well) and proposes strategies that help overcome these challenges.

Dr. Doumont holds an engineering degree from the Louvain School of Engineering and a PhD in applied physics from Stanford. He specializes in professional speaking, writing, and graphing, and incorporates a unique engineering perspective. He is an international speaker and the author of “Trees, Maps, and Theorems: effective communication for rational minds”. All CAPD workshops are open to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni. RSVP requested via CareerBridge<https://candidate.gradleaders.com/MITGECD/Candidates/Login.aspx?pid=3624&workshopID=83467>.

Sponsored by Career Advising & Professional Development, the Office of Graduate Education, the Office of Vice President for Research, and the Graduate Student Council

CV Conversion to Resume
Thursday, January 23rd | 1:30 – 3:00pm | 1-190
If you are considering exploring Industry positions, you will need to have a resume that effectively positions you for this path.  This workshop presented by Bob Dolan will discuss the process of converting your 4-6 page CV into a 2-page resume for industry, and creating a document that effectively targets the Hiring Manager.  Can your resume survive a 15 second scan and still get into the YES pile? Discussions will surround the strategies of effective messaging and how to be "on-point" with your written communication.  Actual MIT PhD/Postdoc resumes will be provided as handouts. All CAPD workshops are open to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni unless otherwise specified.  Registration requested via Careerbridge<https://candidate.gradleaders.com/MITGECD/Candidates/Login.aspx?pid=3624&workshopID=83526>.

Networking 101
Thursday, January 24th | 11:30am-12:30pm |56-154
Informational interviews are a relatively easy way to learn all sorts of great stuff about jobs, industries, companies, and locations that you are curious about and can’t learn through coursework. In this workshop, you’ll learn more about what an informational interview is, why they’re important, and some strategies for conducting your own. All CAPD workshops are open to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni unless otherwise specified. Registration requested via Careerbridge<https://candidate.gradleaders.com/MITGECD/Candidates/Login.aspx?pid=3624&workshopID=83525>.

Working Efficiently During Your PhD
Thursday, January 24th | 3:00pm – 5:00pm | E25-111
Back by popular demand, MIT is thrilled to welcome Dr. Jean-luc Doumont  for his annual IAP lectures.

Unless you know how to squeeze more than 24 hours in a day, you are probably receptive to advice on how to achieve more in the time you have. Rather than add to the long lists of tips available in books or websites, this lecture proposes a simple but solid framework to help you decide what is worth doing
(and what is not). It then discusses how to manage your time and your physical or virtual space to actually get things done.

Dr. Doumont holds an engineering degree from the Louvain School of Engineering and a PhD in applied physics from Stanford. He specializes in professional speaking, writing, and graphing, and incorporates a unique engineering perspective. He is an international speaker and the author of “Trees, Maps, and Theorems: effective communication for rational minds”. All CAPD workshops are open to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni unless otherwise specified.
