The Promega team will be present in the hall on Wednesday to collect feedback from users of their Helix service and will offer refreshments and discounts to visitors on their stand.
The 5th floor meeting room will host CIG members who would like to share lunch all together between 12 and 1 P.M on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays (lab meetings are held on the other days).
All newcomers to the CIG since Nov 2022 present themselves in 1 slide in 1 minute.
Where are you coming from? What is your expertise? What will you be working on? Is there a fun fact about you that few people know?
Feel free to use your imagination to make a personalized and brief introduction of yourself to the CIG.
Each speaker presents their work in 20-25 min + 5-10 questions.
For more dynamic discussions, we usually interrupt speakers with questions during the talk. The aim is to share your work with your colleagues and receive scientific feedback.
Please keep in mind that the CIG is very diverse and many of your colleagues are not familiar with details of your field and specific methodologies. Thus, we advise you to balance the amount of presented data against the time you have to present.
Optional feedback on presentation skills using a questionnaire By popular demand, but only if desired, presenters can receive tips from a couple of PIs to improve presenter skills. For this, we prepared a feedback questionnaire to be filled out together over a brief discussion at the end of the seminar.

The PIs of tomorrow session at the next LS2 Annual Meeting 2024 will be held in Lausanne, 14-15. February 2024.
This session offers to postdocs interested in an academic career an opportunity to present a plenary talk similar in format to a professorship interview seminar. A knowledgeable jury panel of professors will evaluate the presentations.
The best presentation will be awarded a prize. However, everyone is a winner, as all presenters in the session will receive feedback from the jury in a one-on-one private session afterwards. Moreover, as a participant in the LS2 Annual Meeting 2024, you will have the opportunity to expand or refresh your network in Switzerland via interaction with scientists in and outside your field.
Only applicants having ties to Switzerland will be considered (i.e. Swiss citizenship, Swiss residency, past or on-going affiliation with a Swiss institution of at least two years by the 2024 meeting). Independent position holders are not eligible.
Find the full list of eligibility and selection criteria and details to apply in the document hereunder.
Deadline: 15th October, 2023
