Trainee Elevator Pitches
We are no longer accepting elevator pitch slides. However, if you already submitted your slide and you have questions, please reach out to our Trainee Elevator Pitch Organizer, Esteban Dominguez, edominguez@kumc.edu.
This session will take place on Thursday, November 7, from 2:00-3:00 pm in the Health Education Building, Rm B104 (KUMC Campus).
What is an Elevator Pitch? Science communication is a critically important skill that can help you effectively distill your message, which is often the importance of your research and how it benefits others/society. An elevator pitch is a concise, clear explanation of your research that can be easily understood by non-experts. Consider including information about the big scientific question you or your lab is focused on answering, or the potential impact of your work. An elevator pitch should not include data or be considered a “mini presentation” – instead, it should be engaging and focus on your broad scientific topic.
