In this morning's workshop Beck Andre led a session on Presentation Skills. She gave us the basics on how to communicate and present yourself. We practiced our "elevator speech" which was a sum of our project in less than 25 words. It was interesting to see how hard it was to explain your research in less than 25 words. We also worked with a few tongue twisters to work on anunciating and that got extremely hilarious.

Then I had a meeting with Vicky and Natalie to go over my abstract again. We changed a few things around and i think it looks really good now. Since then I have been working on content. i am nearly done with the Website. I just have a little more video captioning to do.

The only problem I have with getting the content done by Thursday morning is that one of my interviews with Scott Lissner had a problem with the sound. So I now need to interview him again which I will be unable to do until this Thursday afternoon. Other than that my website should be complete by that point.

Tomorrow we are going to the Newark Earthworks to talk about Kristin's research. We are spending the whole day there, and then we have the afternoon to finish our sites. It should be fun.

Thanks for reading!
