[Turnbull Zemi] Schedule for Zemi

[Stephen J. Turnbull]

Hi all,

Today Ms. Wang, Ms. Zhou, Mr. Liu, Ms. Li, Ms. Xu, and Ms. Jin
presented.  That leaves Mr. Nishi, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Ma to present on
Monday starting at 14:00.  If Mr. Hua wishes to present on Monday,
please let me know, but it's optional.

Based on today's presentation, M2s generally have accurate timing for
12 minute presentations.  Unless you were off by more than 30s, don't
spend much effort on improving timing.  Although I mentioned it
specifically for a couple of individuals, everyone needs to work on
"selling" their research.  Unless we have discussed specific
priorities for improvement, this should be #1.
- What scientific assets (new models, new methodology, new datasets)
  have you contributed?
- What new results (theorems, regressions, hypothesis tests) have you
  found?
- How can individuals, groups, and governments use your contributions
  to improve their choices and policies?

Second priority: audience focus.  Remember that althouh a scientific
presentation can have style and be fun, it is not performance art
where you do what you want and the audience has to figure out what
you're trying to say.  Instead, you want to help your audience
understand with the minimal amount of effort, and convince them your
work is important.

12 minutes is very short.  It's longer than an "elevator pitch", but
it's really tight.  Your goal cannot be to present everything, or even
all the important results in your paper.  You don't have time.  It has
to be to convince the audience they want to read your paper, and that
it's important to them.

Friday individual meetings:
11:00 Ms. Zhou
13:30 Mr. Liu
14:00 Ms. Xu
15:00 Mr. Ma
15:30 Mr. Wang
