Presenting Results At A Professional Conference
Submitted by admin on Wed, 2006-09-06 23:14.
Since most interns and their hosts choose to present at AGU, the IRIS has initiated a number of supplimental functions at this event to help you get the most from your visit. For example, on Tuesday evening of AGU week IRIS holds a reception for the IRIS interns and the alumni of the program. This mixer allows interns to meet again face-to-face and presents an opportunity for interns to network with internship alumni who can provide valuable information about graduate school opportunities and facilitate connections with potential advisors. To further improve the intern's AGU experience, IRIS interns will also be integrated into the mentoring and student interaction opportunities provided at the meeting by the AGU education program. The networking continues through multiple years as intern alumni have communicated to share rooms with one another at AGU and can be seen wandering the poster sessions in small groups.
"The culmination of the internship experience is the presentation of research results at a professional conference."
Presenting your research at a professional conference provides
- closure to the research process
- a context for your research amongst other ongoing research
- an opportunity to interact with other students and researchers about your work
- an exposure to the fullness of Earth science research as a viable career option
- numerous networking opportunities with internship alumni and potential graduate advisors
Interns and their advisors are free to present their research at a variety of professional meetings. However most interns and their hosts choose to present that the Fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union.
