在科学会议上导航和网络
At some point in your scientific career, you will attend your first conference. As you progress through graduate school your strategies at conferences will improve and change according to your current goals. Preparation for conferences can be nerve wrecking and regardless of the amount of planning undertaken prior to arrival, chaos often ensues the moment you arrive. Although each conference is unique with differences based on specific field, conference size, location , etc, there are some common ideas to keep in mind and multiple resources currently available to guide students through the madness of a conference.
After a little reading and a bit of introspection, I have come up with a few basic suggestions and ideas related to attending scientific conferences:
会议前。
在参加会议之前，您显然需要选择要参加的会议。为此，您的最佳资源可能是实验室中的PI，DOCS和高年级学生。这些人应该能够指出最相关的会议，并将作为在会议期间分支和与其他实验室见面的人的重要资源。
海报还是口头表现？
总的来说，如果这是您的第一次会议，那么海报通常是最佳选择，因为您可能只是只熟悉材料。口头介绍的时间范围有限可能对您的成功有害。除此之外，您还必须考虑项目的当前状态以及您将要提出的内容的复杂性。如果该项目的直接结论通常可以在10-15分钟内分配给扬声器，那么这通常是展示作品的最佳方法。但是，如果您仍在开发该项目，并且正在寻找有关该项目何处的深入反馈，那么海报可能是最好的选择。
Preparing the presentation:
由于此博客的规模和范围有限，我不会试图制定适当的步骤来创建有效的科学演示，而是在最后提供了一些有用的链接。显然，成功演示的关键是实践。通过我与其他科学家的互动，真正给我留下深刻印象的建议是鼓励那些观看您的实践演示文稿的人几乎过于关键，几乎是对苛刻的水平。这将使您为会议期间可能发生的任何问题做好准备。一旦您充分准备了演示文稿，就应该能够适应任何更改，例如缩短演示文稿或失败的投影仪。
选择在会议上参加哪些会谈：
This task can be quite painstaking for large conferences with multiple talks going on simultaneously. You will have to figure out what is reasonable and most important to you. I would suggest trying to keep in mind the current stage of your career (assuming you are not constantly doing this!). While it is always great to see the big names in your general field give talks, it may be more realistic and useful to see the poster of someone who is working on a similar project and will be potentially more approachable. Above all, make realistic and adaptable plans.
During the conference:
好的，现在重要的一天来了，您必须参加会议。显然，当您到达会议和整个会议时，人们需要牢记一些基本的需求：饮食，睡眠，咖啡等。其中许多需求将被延伸到极限，因此为此做好准备。我已经将会议建议分为几类，这些类别似乎在其他有用的网站中出现：
在海报演示期间
尽管所有准备工作肯定会带来回报，但毫无疑问，您无法计划的事情。因此，就像我上面说的那样，准备适应。在介绍海报和一般会议上的另一个问题是确定您正在与谁交谈，以及您是否应该知道他们是谁。一个科学的美国人博客详细介绍了“ Nametag瞥见的黑暗艺术”。这个博客和其他博客指出了愿望或需要识别您领域的“著名”科学家，以及如果您不认识它们，这会多么尴尬。虽然我同意名字或缺乏的名字会导致一些尴尬的社交情况，但总的来说，如果您问他们的名字和他们的工作，我相信大多数人不会被冒犯。如果他们被冒犯了，那么您可以对此做出自己的判断。In identifying individuals that are in fact PI’s as opposed to students you can tailor your discourse accordingly, but I would be hesitant to dismiss or lessen your conversation with someone as you never know who will be most influential to your career in the long run (see next section). Always have business cards or copies of your poster with your contact info on them.
和陌生人说话
尽管这可能会无视您的父母教给您的一切，但您绝对必须学会与您从未见过的人接触。显然，这是在海报会议上最容易做到的，他们主要期待它。虽然向前看并直接转向与您的研究直接相关的海报绝对重要，但也有助于与您所在领域的个人接触。beplay苹果手机能用吗这将有多种目的。首先，当您不确定时，它将让您习惯问问题。其次，它可以帮助打破一遍又一遍地进行非常相似的对话的单调。如果您不断去找与您基本上相同类型的工作的人，您会注意到，这些方法的背景和解释将非常相似，并且所有演示文稿都会开始重叠您的脑海，因此选择随机海报或要学习的话题总是很不错的步伐。
与陌生人交谈的另一个重要理由是学生职业道路上的可变性和不确定性。在我们以前的GSEC博客文章Kimberly Busiek中指出了许多吸引研究生的“学术界之外”工作（April Blog）。会议，尤其是大型会议，通常是由可以提供那些非学术工作的公司的代表赞助的。接近并了解这些人可能是通往新职业道路的第一步。
喝
While I was not naïve to the fact that this is a major part of scientific conferences, I was surprised how often it was mentioned in other articles. Remember you are an adult and there is no use in droning on about responsible drinking and the potential downfalls and health related issues. So, instead I would like to point out the positives. For those people who don’t drink many of these same things apply as it can be favorable to spend time with others who are drinking even if you are not. While discussing scientific work in front of a poster with beautiful charts and graphs is obviously necessary and useful, poster sessions and oral presentations are also full of many distractions. At a bar or tavern, an individual is much less likely to be abruptly approached by someone who wants them to present their research and there are often better opportunities to ask one on one questions. It also helps if you start the conversation by offering to buy them a drink! Further, moderate alcohol can lead to individuals being more social and you may hear what the individual really thinks is going on with their research or possibly more importantly what they think of yours (酒精使人们社交）。Other sites, have pointed out that many a collaboration or faculty position has been realized or initiated over a couple of drinks (Attending Your First Scientific Meeting）。
After the conference.
Obviously the first desire when returning from a conference is to get some much needed rest. After you have obtained the appropriate amount of rest, I think there are a few important things to do soon after your return. Send out contact emails to individuals that you met and want to keep in contact. If you had specific conversations about your research or you think they may be interested, always send a copy of your poster or related article. I think it is also important to discuss with other members of your lab what you learned from the conference. Beyond bragging about who you saw, heard, or met; you should discuss the research that you found interesting and relevant while it is still fresh on your mind. If you had specific feedback that may help take your project or other projects in the lab to the next level, these are often best discussed in a more formal lab meeting or directly with your PI.
Conclusions
总体而言，我试图从我的会议上的个人经历以及其他文章和博客中的一些有用信息中提供一些信息。在下面，您只会发现一些我发现有趣且有用的链接。
