Another guest post – vitae researcher blogs

VITAE (a UK organisation to support researchers) recently advertised for paid blogger positions on their career development blogs. I wasn’t successful in my application, as I couldn’t make it to their training day in London, what with me living in France and all. But they said they’d publish the submission from my application and it’s now up: ranting about powerpoint overview slides. Seriously, I have, in the past, considered adding a slide to my conference presentation which says:

  • Waffle
  • Other people’s stuff
  • What I did
  • How it worked
  • Waffle

The other thing I’ve considered doing is photographing every overview slide in a conference and turning all 30+ of them into an animated gif. I guess I’d better wait until I’m better at taking photos without flash though, as it could get a bit distracting for the other attendees…
