    New College of Florida

    This course will be a combination of training in public speaking, science communication, making slides, and data visualization techniques and best-practices. Students will give multiple presentations over the course of the semester following different formats and prompts including, for example, an elevator pitch; study presentation with slides, a poster presentation, a "no slides" research synthesis; and, of course, an end of semester "ceremonial toast." Students will engage in critical self- and peer- assessments of their presentations. Students will also learn skills and software for making infographics, conceptual visuals, data figures, and creating videos. Presentations will be given in both live, in-person, format as well as in edited and live digital/online format. There will be a strict cap of 9 students due to the social distancing space requirements. Although the course will be delivered as a "Hybrid" course, with a rotating schedule between some online portions and in-person sessions, this course will not be available to remote-only students in Spring 2021 (students are required to attend class sessions that are in-person). Remote students who are interested in taking this course should contact the professor about taking a Mod-equivalent tutorial, online-only version - spaces limited.

Previous projects have included looking at relative contribution of auditory and visual regions to memory centers in the common dolphin; comparing strength of connections between olfactory, hormone-controlling, and emotional arousal regions in the domestic dog and coyotes, and looking at vocal learning pathways in seals and sea lions.
