CERF 2013 will host two Ignite Sessions - each scheduled during the lunch period on Monday and Wednesday. These 90-minute sessions will be comprised of eight to ten talks grouped around a common theme. Each talk is five minutes, featuring 20 slides that advance automatically every 15 seconds … when your slides are done, so are you! There are no questions during the talks, but there will be time for discussion afterwards. Ignite Sessions provide a unique way to share ideas and experiences in a fun, animated and fast-paced forum.
What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger (Or At Least a Better Scientist)
As scientists we have all faced obstacles: a failed experiment, manuscripts that never get published, unlucky job searches, conflicts with collaborators, mentees, or mentors. Yet, it is often in these times that we find new inspiration, a discovery that leads us down another path, a change in approach to the question, or a new source of support. In this Ignite Session, scientists will share the stories behind those obstacles and how they ultimately made them a better scientist.
