Most journals no longer accept figures created in PowerPoint. Instead, they require that figures and schematic drawings be generated in programs such as Illustrator or Freehand. Learn the basic tools and functions of Adobe Illustrator. Create simple publication-ready figures. Learn how to import and export images in a variety of formats. Taught by Ms. Mary Leonard, Graphic Designer, Biomedical Art & Design Dept.
The results text narrates the story that the figures tell visually. A well-written results section does not repeat in words what the figures or tables present; it describes the experiments that were performed and the logical connections between them. This session will focus on relating the results text to the figures in a way that tells a compelling scientific story. Taught by Penn-trained Elizabeth Colston, M.D., Ph.D.
This class is available for CME Credits.
The Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)ä. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.Would you like to talk about your work in a memorable way? This session will focus on how to organize and deliver an engaging research presentation for an invited talk or national meeting. Taught by Dr. E. Sue Weber, Associate Director, Communications Within the Curriculum (CWiC) Program, Penn's School of Arts and Sciences (SAS).

Austrian Auditorium, Clinical Research Building
Featuring:
- Raina Merchant, MD MSHP, Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine, University of Pennsylvania.
Increasingly, scientists are using the wisdom of crowds to solve important public health problems. It’s clear that today’s “networked society†is eager to come together virtually to solve a challenge and to innovate. Dr. Merchant’s lecture will focus on the anatomy of crowdsourcing—how and why it works— using examples from the Penn MyHeartMap Challenge and other public health initiatives. - Ian Bennett, MD PhD, Assistant Professor of Family Medicine and Community Health, University of Pennsylvania
Ian Bennett, Senior Fellow at the Center for Public Health Initiatives, will describe several internet based applications for computer and mobile devices which are part of ongoing public health projects. The role of web-apps as part of larger public health efforts as well as their design and evaluation will be discussed using experiences with specific projects including the nationally recognized PREPPEDkids.org.

Preparing for Campus Interviews and Negotiating Academic Job Offers – Science, Mathematics and Engineering
Thursday, January 19, 4:00-5:30pm
Room B26, Stiteler Hall (208 South 37th Street).
Making a good impression during a campus interview will be the best way to convince search committees that you are the ideal candidate. This requires that you can talk effectively about yourself and your research, ask good questions to the faculty, administrators, and students that you will meet, and highlight how your particular knowledge and experiences set you apart from other candidates. Even while the job market remains quite challenging, it is still important to be prepared to negotiate effectively once offers have been made. Whether you are applying for a visiting assistant professor position or a tenure track faculty position at a college or university, there are many things that you may be able to negotiate once you have received a written offer.
Take this opportunity to learn about campus interviews and negotiating from faculty members who have been through the process as candidates and members of search committees. Register today for this program by following this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XNZSHQ2. Bring your questions and hopefully you can find answers that will help you make the most out of your next interview. The two speakers will be:
· Alexis Nagengast, PhD, Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Widener University
· Robert Ghrist, PhD, Andrea Mitchell University Professor of Math & Electrical/Systems Engineering, University of Pennsylvania
This program is a session of the Faculty Conversations on the Academic Job Search and Academic Life, a series for doctoral students and postdocs which is co-sponsored by Career Services and the Associate Provost for Education. This year, 2012, is the 17th year of this series in which faculty and administrators share valuable information to help you best understand the academic job search process. While some are targeted to people in certain broad discipline areas, all PhD students and postdocs are welcome to attend.
If you are looking for some information on this topic right now, then make sure that you take a look at some of the resources on this page of our website for some general information on interviewing and negotiating. The Chronicle of Higher Education website also has many advice columns on handling on- (and off-) campus interviews.
Faculty Conversations on the Academic Job Search and Academic Life:
Behind the Scenes with a Search Committee
Tuesday, January 31, 4-5:15 pm
Houston Hall, Ben Franklin Room
What happens to your application for a faculty job and how does a search committee work together? How are candidates evaluated and selected for faculty positions? This panel will help you gain a better understanding of the academic job search from the perspective of the sitting faculty, department and institution. Faculty speakers will share their experiences and insights:
Emilio Parrado, PhD, Associate Director, Population Studies Center, University of Pennsylvania and Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Pennsylvania
Lynne M. Butler, PhD, Professor of Mathematics, Haverford College
Registration is requested

Knowles Science Teaching Foundation
Although a doctorate is considered an essential first step in an academic career, translating what you’ve learned and accomplished in the process of earning your doctorate for other audiences is not always easy. In this presentation, Dr. Gillespie will share lessons learned from her own career trajectory and insights she’s gained both in and out of academic circles. Her current position involves working closely with high school teachers, so she will also share what she has learned about making the transition from research and teaching undergraduates to teaching at the K-12 level.
