SGRS SEMINAR 'WORKING WITH YOUR SUPERVISOR"

by Sylvia Barnes

'Working with your Supervisor' Ian Simpson, School of Biological & Environmental Sciences Cottrell 2A13, 2pm - 4pm 13th October 2004 Admire them or despair at them, every PhD student has a supervisor who's trying to help you along the path to your doctorate. How do you the student get the right information from them? Should you brow beat the poor overworked supervisor into a pulp to extract guidance or sit patiently by their door for the wisdom to ooze from underneath? This seminar tries to open the old can of worms about student-supervisor relationships in an attempt to identify some short cuts for the new and even more experienced supervisor. This session will help you to manage your supervisor for success; highlight difficulties that you may experience; to identify methods of best practice and includes an introduction to the supervisors view on best management practices; who has responsibility for what; examine the relationship between student and supervisor; identify short cuts. There are still some places available on this session. Please contact me to register. Sylvia Barnes Secretary, Planning & Research Office Room 3B1 x 7041

FW: EPSRC and ECSITE-UK: 'Meet the Scientist' programme

by Wilma Ellis

An opportunity for all post grad and post doc scientists to work on communication skills. Wilma Wilma Ellis Research Services Officer Planning and Research Office University of Stirling Stirling FK9 4LA Tel: 01786 466691 Fax: 01786466688 -----Original Message----- From: Melanie Quin [mailto:Melanie.Quin@the-ba.net] Sent: 01 October 2004 15:19 To: wilma.ellis(a)stir.ac.uk Subject: EPSRC and ECSITE-UK: 'Meet the Scientist' programme Dear Ms W Ellis ECSITE-UK, the national network of science and centres and museums, together with EPSRC invites you, your post-docs and PhD students to communicate your research through 'Meet the Scientist'. Meet the Scientist offers: * A real opportunity to take on the challenge of communicating what you do to a non-scientific audience * Training from experienced science communicators in a relaxed and informal setting * Access to and examples of a number of different strategies and techniques that could be used to communicate your science * An opportunity to meet and work alongside scientists from other fields * A chance to get a new perspective on your work. On 18-19 November, the Royal Museum, Edinburgh, is hosting a two-day training event for prospective 'Meet the Scientist' researchers. Practical follow-up from a mentor will then help you to develop your skills to enable you to communicate your science in a way you feel comfortable with. The museum will also provide guidance about the type of event and audience to aim for and practical help setting it up - this could include advice in applying for an EPSRC PPA award. The only cost will be your time: the EPSRC is investing in this initiative to support the Council's mission of improving public awareness of leading research and its impact on society. If you or a member of your research group is interested, contact info(a)ecsite-uk.net for more information. RSVP now to register your interest and we'll send more details. Yours sincerely Dr M Quin Director, ECSITE-UK ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System on behalf of the BA (British Association for the Advancement of Science) ________________________________________________________________________
