Blog – Stand-Up Scientists: Lessons from Comedy
Want to make your research talks more engaging? Rebecca Williams shares lessons from stand-up comedy to keep your audience hooked. 🎤🎭
Hello! My name’s Rebecca and I’m a second-year PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Though originally from ‘up North’ in a small town called Leigh, I did my undergraduate and masters at the University of Oxford before defecting/seeing the light (depends who you ask) to Cambridge for my doctorate. I now spend the majority of my days collecting data from our wonderful volunteers, and coding. I maintain that after spending entire days coding analysis pipelines I am very close to actually being able to see the matrix. In my spare time, I am a big fan of crafting in all its forms, and recently got a sewing machine to start designing my own clothes! I also greatly enjoy playing board games, and escape rooms.
