Workshop on scientific communication at the Nencki Institute

We cordially invite you to participate in the scientific communication workshop conducted by prof. Aleksandra Pękowska and dr Alicja Puścian.

We will examine the ins and outs of giving a great scientific talk to get you ready for the big day –  PhD students’ conference .

The workshops will be held on Oct 4th, 2021 (Monday), 10:15-16:00

There will be some very special guests from King’s College London, Nencki and Yale. It is going to be an interactive and fun event. And lunch is on us, so you can leave your tupperware at home.
