Hi Everyone.
I was presenting at the SEMPRE 40th Anniversary Conference on the weekend and thought I'd share some of my highlights with you all.
First, it was great to learn more about SEMPRE itself, it's history and the dedication shown by those who established the society and its journals. As a research community we really do owe a great deal to them. Find out more at http://sempreconference.blogspot.co.uk/
Secondly, presenting my research as a Research Rush (2-5 minutes without visual aids) was a challenge! I looked at the presentation that I gave at ICMPC-ESCOM and proceeded to cross almost all of it out, keeping only the salient points. Delivering my research in this format was a lesson in brevity and clear communication and from the comments that I received from colleagues, it appears that my very brief overview of my research was a success. I think that this is a principle I can use in future publications and presentations.
Thirdly, in the closing plenary of the conference, the speakers reminded me of the importance of demonstrating the value and impact of my research others. As my research focuses on music in everyday life, I feel that it is of great importance to show that my findings can be disseminated to the public and applied to everyday situations. I shall therefore aim to be more explicit when communicating the implications and applications of my research. In addition, I will try to keep this matter at the front of my mind when designing future research.
All the best,
Steph
