How to Give a Short Talk
Edward H. Adelson
Wed Jan 10, 02-03:00pm, E25-117
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Short conference presentations are one of the main ways of letting people know about your work. A short talk must be carefully planned and executed so that information flows effectively from you to your audience. I will describe the key ingredients that make a talk succeed, as well as the pitfalls that can make it fail.

New Research in Cognitive Development
Elizabeth Spelke , Kirsten Condry
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
An introduction to current issues in cognitive development by Gregg Solomon, and talks on current research on infant perception, cognition, and language acquisition by Kirsten Condry, Sue Hespos, and Lori Markson. No background in this field is assumed, but some familiarity with cognitive science will be helpful.
