Editing Preparation Gjoa Haven Workshop (section)

=Scientific Presentations=

The first day of the Gathering was designed around presenting back to the community. Most of those were presentations were done remotely through the a starlink connection and zoom-presentation link.

Based on research I had conducted for a Research Assistance-ship on research communication, earlier in my PhD, I had asked presenters to use the "message box" (COMPASS, year) as a template to format their presentations with. 

Preparing such a message box, can form a useful tool to "distil your knowledge in a way that resonates with your audience<ref>Green, S. J., Grorud-Colvert, K., & Mannix, H. (2018). Uniting science and stories: perspectives on the value of storytelling for communicating science. Facets, 3(1), 164-173.</ref>."

<div class="next_choice">Sadly, very few of the presenters had seemed to make use of this message box, nor did they time their presentations in accordance with the requested window of 7 minutes presentation, 7 minutes discussion. In combination with the technical challenges of keeping a remote connection stable up north, this day ended up taking much longer than anticipated- and did not provide any space for dialogue.</div>
