SUMMARY:Catchup - Salon - Developing a Conference Abstract
DESCRIPTION:A weekly webinar to discuss careers and research topics. These sessions combine livestreams\, guest speakers\, and group online chat to exchange ideas\, challenge\, influence\, inspire\, and educate. In this session\, we hear from Sara Erzsebet Zsadanyi & Wasiu Balogun exploring how to craft a great conference abstract. \nA great conference abstract is more than a summary—it’s your first chance to get noticed. In dementia research\, where competition for attention is high and word counts are tight\, every sentence matters. But how do you distil your work into something concise\, compelling\, and clear? How do you convince reviewers—and attendees—that your research deserves a place on the stage? Today\, we’ll break down the craft of writing a standout abstract\, exploring how to communicate significance\, spark interest\, and open the door to new opportunities. \nSpeakers\n\nSara Zsadanyi is a PhD Student in the Sant Pau Memory Unit – Neuroimaging Core and Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. Originally from New Zealand she moved to Barcelona\, Spain to undertake her PhD. Her research is focused on neuroimaging of small vessel disease in Down Syndrome and autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease. \nDr Wasiu Balogun is a Postdoctoral Associate at University of Pittsburgh. Originally from from Nigeria\, he completed his PhD in Malaysia\, and is currently working in the Karikari fluid biomarker lab\, developing and testing potential biomarkers in human fluids. His motto is work hard and play more. \nProgramme\nThe format of the event is a 30 minute livestream where the speakers will each present their thoughts on this topic for 10 minutes each\, the host will then ask questions and the livestream will end. The speakers will then join the online chat and interact with the audience\, answering questions and giving those who attended a chance to share their thoughts on the topic.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAvailable to join exclusivley in Dementia Researcher Communities – Online or in the App\n\nWatch the Recording
