Florida Gulf Coast University Hosts Next Presentation Boot Camp
September 27-28, 2014
Over 400 ocean scientists have graduated from a Presentation Boot Camp (PBC) sponsored by COSEE Florida.  It’s not too late to join their ranks.  Our next PBC will be held on September 27-28 at Florida Gulf Coast University (Ft. Myers, Florida).  During the intensive two-day workshop you'll receive training in planning and preparing presentations that communicate messages more clearly and effectively and have a lasting impact on the audience. Topics include: identifying the needs of the audience, highlighting big ideas and take-home messages, decoding complex concepts with diagrams, and displaying data in meaningful ways. You'll also receive training in the use and application of a protocol for evaluating the effectiveness of scientific presentations.
