April-May

The critical final months of every PIIISA Project are already here.

First, and after considering all we made during this course, we finished a Summary of our work for the first of the meetings held in Malaga on 27th of April.

This Abstract will included in the Congress Book in the First PIIISA meeting of this year.

It is our first communication in one of the PIIISA congress of this year. Unfortunately, as it is mentioned in the document, we are not going to assist in to this congress. However, the summary and probably the Poster will be included in all the documents. 

In addition, Yesterday (20th of April), we practised as a first time, our oral presentation (see in resources the first draft of the slides).

We considered all the facts, and understand  the importance of any presentation is that the audience know our work, what we alredy did!!!. 

In the Speech, people has to be aware what we are telling but not how we are telling.

We analyzed all the slides, corrected some of them and calculating more or less the time of exposition. We also elaborated a script for the whole presentation and practise to be in the right time for the exposition: 7-8 min. After practising several folds (3-4 times), we adquired confidence to give a nice speech clarifing what we made and the real conclussions we present of our project. At the end, also several putative questions were studied in order to expect which could be… . In my experience never occurs as we planify but…

Several things are still pending: the final poster structure, and the final manuscript: proceedings. Remember the deadlines!!!

Do not forget: 

-22th April. Dead line for my own ideas…

-Thursday 5th of May. First congress; it will be held on IPBlN-CSIC (http://www.ipb.csic.es/)
