SUMMARY:Three Minute Thesis (3MT) - Preparing Your Pitch
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to “pitch” your research! Share your complex ideas effectively in a concise format and/or practice presenting your research to an audience. To help you prepare\, we are offering an interactive workshop series. \nRegister now to participate in one or both workshops. \n\nWorkshop 1 – Preparing Your Pitch [ONLINE] : February 11\, 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.\nLearn about the benefits of 3MT\, how to organize and draft your pitch\, follow the principles of good slide design\, and develop your presentation skills.\n\n\nWorkshop 2 – Presentation Practice and Feedback [HYBRID] : March 11\, 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.\nWorkshop your script\, get feedback from experts\, and refine your slide design.\n\nWorkshop facilitators: Dr. Jodie Salter (University of Guelph Library\, Writing Specialist); Jason Dodd (University of Guelph Library\, Science Learning Specialist); and Jessie Kennedy (Manager\, John F. Wood Centre for Business and Student Enterprise). \n3MT is a university-wide competition for graduate students. Participants present their research\, creative activity\, and its wider impact in 3 minutes or less in an engaging\, accessible\, and compelling way using only one slide. It’s a fantastic opportunity to develop your public speaking skills and share your research with a broader audience. \nFor students interested in participating in 3MT competitions\, the 2025 college heats and the university-wide 3MT competition will take place between the end of March and mid-April 2025. These details will be shared soon. For more information about 3MT\, visit the Office of Graduate Studies website. Our past U of G 3MT Champion has some advice for future 3MT participants.

SUMMARY:Thinking Spaces: Andrew Goldman\, “The Cognition of Musical Improvisation: Theories and Experiments”
DESCRIPTION:Improvisation is a challenging topic to study using the theories and methods of cognitive science owing to the difficulty of defining it\, and the diversity of improvisatory practices. I share my theoretical frameworks for engaging this challenge as well as the results from some behavioral and neuroscientific studies. Ultimately\, I draw upon improvisation as a case study for exploring the difficulties of using science to understand music more generally. \nMore About the Presenter:\nAndrew Goldman is a music theorist and cognitive scientist\, and is currently Assistant Professor in Music Theory and Cognitive Science at Indiana University\, where he also directs IU’s Music and Mind Lab. He received his PhD in 2015 at the Centre for Music and Science at the University of Cambridge. He was in the inaugural cohort of Presidential Scholars in Society and Neuroscience at Columbia University\, and also held a postdoctoral position with the Music\, Cognition\, and the Brain initiative at Western University before joining the faculty at Indiana University. \nHis research considers how we can (and cannot) use scientific methods to learn about musical perception and cognition in theory\, and he also designs and conducts behavioral and neuroscientific experiments on music perception and cognition. Goldman’s research has focused on improvisation in music and dance\, and more recent work has addressed the perception of musical form\, melodic contour\, metrical perception\, and embodiment in music. His work has been published in both music and psychology journals\, and has been presented at national and international conferences including the Society for Music Theory\, the International Conference for Music Perception and Cognition\, and the American Psychological Association. Goldman is also a pianist and composer. His original musical\, “Science! The Musical” provides an alternate platform to explore the worlds of music and science. Musical numbers include “The Interdisciplinary Rag\,” “The Real World\,” “Publish or Perish\,” and more!

SUMMARY:Virtual Cottage Birds Series
DESCRIPTION:While sitting on the dock\, have you ever asked “Did that loon just attack that duck?” or “How can that Pileated Woodpecker peck such big holes without hurting its brain?” or “Which hawk is that flying overhead?” The answers to these and many other bird-related questions will be covered in this series of eight one-hour sessions on the birds you notice while visiting a cottage\, hiking in a northern park or tenting at your favourite campsite. We will cover identification clues\, behavior\, nesting info\, habitat\, foraging techniques and more. Cottage projects and activities that help birds will also be a part of each session as well as a 10-15 minute discussion period for bird-related questions. All eight programs cost of $70 (plus tax) – that’s less than $10 per program! \nMondays and Wednesdays\, January 20\, 22\, 27\, 29\, February 3\, 5\, 10\, and 12\, 2025\, noon to 1 p.m. \nFee: $70.00 + H.S.T. This event will take place on Zoom. The list of topics with the presentation date is listed below. If you miss any of the programs\, each one is recorded and the recording will be sent to you the next day. The recordings will be available for one month after the last program.

SUMMARY:Intro to GIS using ArcGIS Pro: Data Skills
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop we will learn how to navigate ArcPro\, kinds of GIS data\, how to add data to a map\, basic symbology\, and labelling\, how to filter data\, and how to create a finished map. \nArcGIS is a Geographic Information System (GIS); a software program for working with maps and geographic data. ArcGIS Pro is the desktop mapping software of ArcGIS. A GIS allows you to work with any data that you know a location for (eg. addresses\, latitude / longitude\, census locations\, name of a place\, etc.). ArcPro is available for download to the University community. Although similar in some ways to online mapping sites\, ArcGIS has greater analytical capabilities and allows you more input and control over your map. \nPlease note: \nYou must use a University of Guelph login to self-register for this workshop. If you don’t have a U of G email address\, please contact library@uoguelph.ca to request registration for this workshop. When you register for this workshop you are committing to attend the entire workshop unless you confirm otherwise with the instructor. This workshop allows limited attendees.
