Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ***BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2022 SHORTLISTED TITLE*** Now more than ever, the scientific and medical community is under the microscope and in front of the media. Science matters, and in a post-truth world it’s more important than ever for scientists and physicians to be heard. But there’s a challenge. To get people to listen, you can’t communicate in writing alone anymore. You need to speak up and be seen - on stage, online, and on camera. To do this well you need to master the art of influential speaking, which is something you weren’t taught at university or medical school. This book teaches you how to become a compelling scientific speaker so that you can put your message across with confidence and clarity, both online and in person. It’s written by a speaking coach with 25 years of experience in science communications. Part One shows how speaking can help you to win the war of attention, benefiting both your field and your career. Part Two explains how to craft your scientific message in a way that connects with your audience and achieves your goal. Including how to be memorable, handle the Q&A, and communicate risk. Part Three gives you a tool kit for speaking with energy and conviction in all types of situations. These include virtual channels, which are particularly important in the post-COVID era. Jo Browning is the Founder and Managing Director of Filshie Browning Associates, and its Principle Consultant. She has 25 years of experience in verbal communication skills, and helps scientists and physicians to improve their content, competence, and confidence, so that they can communicate with impact and authority. This enables them to enhance their reputations and build more effective relationships with both their peers and others.

Download or read book The Art of Doing Science and Engineering written by Richard W. Hamming and published by Stripe Press. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking treatise by one of the great mathematicians of our time, who argues that highly effective thinking can be learned. What spurs on and inspires a great idea? Can we train ourselves to think in a way that will enable world-changing understandings and insights to emerge? Richard Hamming said we can, and first inspired a generation of engineers, scientists, and researchers in 1986 with "You and Your Research," an electrifying sermon on why some scientists do great work, why most don't, why he did, and why you should, too. The Art of Doing Science and Engineering is the full expression of what "You and Your Research" outlined. It's a book about thinking; more specifically, a style of thinking by which great ideas are conceived. The book is filled with stories of great people performing mighty deeds––but they are not meant to simply be admired. Instead, they are to be aspired to, learned from, and surpassed. Hamming consistently returns to Shannon’s information theory, Einstein’s relativity, Grace Hopper’s work on high-level programming, Kaiser’s work on digital fillers, and his own error-correcting codes. He also recounts a number of his spectacular failures as clear examples of what to avoid. Originally published in 1996 and adapted from a course that Hamming taught at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, this edition includes an all-new foreword by designer, engineer, and founder of Dynamicland Bret Victor, and more than 70 redrawn graphs and charts. The Art of Doing Science and Engineering is a reminder that a childlike capacity for learning and creativity are accessible to everyone. Hamming was as much a teacher as a scientist, and having spent a lifetime forming and confirming a theory of great people, he prepares the next generation for even greater greatness.

Download or read book How To Strikewrite strike edit Your Scientific Article written by Stacey Smith? and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2023-10-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publications are the currency of academia. And yet, many people in the sciences, and especially mathematics, are never actually taught how to write. More specifically, they are not taught how to edit, redraft and revise their material so that the presentation is optimal for the reader. Most academic articles are appallingly written, even by native English speakers. One of the core problems is that most scientists hate writing and put only the bare minimum of effort into it. Furthermore, academic articles too often read like a first draft, with little understanding that all writing is editing. However, academic writing is a skill like any other that can be broken down into stages. This book will go through the detailed process of assembling an article, from first drafts to writing abstracts to revision to responding to reviewers, illustrated with multiple versions of worked examples as well as what not to do.
Download or read book Your Destiny and Scientific Hand Analysis written by Yaschpaule and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to convince the healthy and scientific-minded sceptic that hand analysis is a science worthy of serious consideration. The laws of scientific hand analysis are presented here in a very simple manner, and are amply illustrated by diagrams. This book is also intended for those who do not have the faintest concept of what hand analysis or astrology is all about, so that no previous knowledge is required for its understanding. At the same time the subject of hand analysis has been comprehensively emphasized. As such this book will be of interest to professional astrologers. In many Eastern countries leading astrologers have a good knowledge of hand analysis. Where the horoscope does not give clear guidance on a particular aspect, they consult the palms in order to obtain clarification. The ideas put forward in this book are based on the Indian, Western and Egyptian schools of hand analysis, although the Indian system has been used the most. The scientific rationale be-hind the wearing of particular gems in order to ward off evil planetary influences is also succinctly described. Above all, this is meant to be an eminently straightforward and practical work. The sceptic has only to study his own palms to be pleasantly surprised at how accurately hand analysis reveals his own particular case.

Download or read book First Five Your Scientific Solution for a Successful First Impression written by Katherine Stanford and published by Katherine and Steve Sojka. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use verbal and full-body communication tactics to dissolve anxiety, convey confidence and make an impressive introduction. This illustrated book describes in laser-sharp detail battle-tested techniques for influencing others’ perceptions of you. It gives you control over your own conscious and subconscious communications and the capacity to take affirmative action towards creating a purposeful first impression. Imagine you have one small five-minute window to create a solid emotional ecosystem from which every subsequent interaction you have with a person will build. This ecosystem will subconsciously influence the progression of the relationship, the ease of rapport, and whether you will be able to meet the outcomes and expectations you have for each other. This book curates numerous academic articles and advice from the field of behavioral science, hypnosis, and linguistics to create a functional step-by-step guide full of hands-on, practical solutions to problems you may encounter during a first meeting. It covers everything from ways of managing and defusing your own stress and social anxiety, to ways of responding to aggression in others. This book contains information such as: * Building and communicating confidence * Setting SMARTER Spectral Goals * Dissolving discomfort and minimizing anxiety * Making introductions * Helpful handshake hints * Building rapport through isopraxism and linguistic techniques * Movement, gestures, and body language * How to analyse communications to find the hidden meaning and personality differences * Establishing the correct emotional environment * Having the resiliency needed to overcome failure * Cementing long-term connections Importantly, this book is also illustrated so that we don't just tell you, but also show you the techniques needed to master the perfect first impression. We wanted this book to cover first impression optimisation from a number of different angles so you can choose the correct technique for each individual situation you encounter. After all, sometimes you might want to give off a dominant, confident impression, but sometimes this won’t work for the situation. We’ve outlined the techniques in a short, digestible form and provided insight into some potential scenarios where this tool should and shouldn’t be applied. Understanding the different techniques and tools is one thing, but understanding how to apply them is another. Once you have the rights tools in your toolbox you can apply these techniques to all subsequent encounters, and develop upon them as you see fit.
Download or read book Reversing Your Hair Loss A Practical Scientific Guide written by Robert J. Hall and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2013-12-08 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a sad fact that we will all lose our hair at some stage, even if only through old age. The real problem is when it happens to us before then. Very few people have any clear idea why premature thinning and loss occurs, but collectively we spend an extraordinary amount to try and reverse it. The hair restoration industry is worth more than ten billion US dollars per year. Yet, the alarming truth is that there is little to no regulation of the industry and most of the 'cures' simply do not work. If you are concerned about your hair loss (and it does not matter whether you are young or old, male or female, completely bald or just thinning) then this book will almost certainly help you. The first few chapters deal with hair itself; what it is and how it grows. Armed with the facts you can immediately start sorting truth from fiction regarding products and services. The second section deals with actual hair-loss. From what we read and what we are told, we are generally led to believe that hair-loss is a single, time-driven, linear process that is as inevitable as it is simple. The truth is, though, that it most certainly none of these. Again, some parts may surprise you, whilst others may even shock you. The last part deals with restoring your hair. Outlined in these chapters are therapies and supplements that can replace the current drug treatments on offer. Other therapies are highlighted that, if added to your existing routine, could make significant improvements to your overall strategy. Lastly, some of the therapies suggested have success rates touching over ninety percent just by themselves. The very last chapter of the book highlights companies offering treatments that will be available in the very near future. These treatments promise complete regeneration of your hair, however long you may have been bald.
