The deadline to submit your proposal for a SPARK talk is coming up soon!  What is SPARK talks?  Read on..

 

Cornell University Library is proud to host SPARK Talks – a series of five-minute lightning talks from Cornell graduate students and postdocs.

It’s more important than ever for scholars to be able to clearly communicate their research whether to undergraduates in the classroom, prospective employers, funding agencies, or the general public. SPARK Talks are an opportunity to present research to a wider audience, to get feedback, and network. Scientists present to humanists, economists present to engineers – and everyone in between.

SPARK Talks are held once a semester and will rotate through different libraries. Each SPARK Talks has an interdisciplinary theme.

The inaugural SPARK Talks will be Oct. 22, 2015, 4 to 6pm at Olin Library Room 107 followed by a reception and a chance to network.

The Fall 2015 theme is Intersection[s].
