WHAT YOU'LL GAIN: In only three minutes, you have to make your audience understand why you are undertaking the subject of your thesis, how you are doing it, and what you plan to accomplish it. Importantly, you have to make them care about your topic. How do you connect with them, not just on an intellectual level, but on a personal level? How can you structure your presentation to be most effective? This session will discuss these challenges and present ideas for you to create a story about your work. Humans are wired to follow stories and remember their contents. By the end of the session, you will have the beginnings of your story that you can continue to build afterwards.
