Getting to Know Your Cohort Icebreaker and Introductions Davyd W. Chung, PhD July 19, 2017

Networking: Research Elevator Pitch ▪ Name and Institution ▪ Favorite vacation spot ▪ 30 second Pitch about your research* ▪ Purpose is to get someone interested; not to tell them everything there is to know. Make sure you: 1. Define the problem 2. Explain why it matters (broader benefits) 3. Describe your potential solution(s) * No jargon allowed 7

My Elevator Pitch 1. Define the Problem ▪ Researchers are notorious for using jargon or becoming so bogged down in the details of their research and losing sight of the big picture 2. Why it matters ▪ Researchers may need to summarize their work briefly while interviewing for a position, asking for funding/money, or finding a potential collaborator at a conference ▪ Researchers may explain their research to all audiences in the same way as they would to a lab colleague — the reviewers of your grant application will most likely not be from your lab 3. Potential Solution ▪ Identify your audience and write to your audience 8
