A conversation with Prof. Amos Bouskila, Dept. of Life Sciences, Ben-Gurion Univ. of the Negev. Thursday 11^th February 2021, 12:30-14:00 Jerusalem time; 10:30-12:00 GMT; 11:30-13:00 CET.

One important part of academic life is the ability to share orally our research or ideas with others. We will start by watching a short sample seminar and I will ask you to note what you see as annoying or inefficient in the way it was presented. We will discuss the importance of delivering a presentation that is effective in almost any scientific setting. We will then analyze elements in the sample talk and present alternatives to each element. We will end with a few useful tips on issues such as timing and dealing with being nervous while delivering your presentation.

Amos Bouskila studied his first and second degrees at the Hebrew Univ. of Jerusalem. During the work on his MSc, he established and was the first director of the Israel Reptile Information Center that was supported by the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel. In 1988 he started his PhD in Ecology at the Univ. of California, Davis, and went on to do a post-doc in Vancouver. He studied the use of Game Theory to understand the relationships between predators and prey in natural systems and went on in this direction when he accepted the position at Ben-Gurion Univ. of the Negev in 1994. He studies now behavioral ecology, reptiles and their conservation and social networks in Equids who live in the wild.
