Science Buzz Lunch in Mixer Room, Building 1, 2-25-2013
Topics discussed included:
1) The recent paper published in The American Naturalist by Anthony R. Raffert et al. titled
Limited Oxygen Availability in Utero May Constrain the Evolution of Live Birth in Reptiles
2) A news article (titled "Two Minutes to Impress") published recently in Nature (Careers Section) about how researchers should compose a pithy "elevator speech" for very briefly (2 minutes) explaining their research to other scientists, potential employers, non-scientist acquaintences, visitors to their lab, etc. A different speech should be devised for these different types of listener, and just a few key points should be presented (and can be chosen and refined and memorized in advance).
