Chalk Talks are a key component of faculty interviews and other informal presentations. But what does a Chalk Talk look like? We’ve curated some examples for you.

Building Cross-cultural Intelligence in Research & Science
Cross-cultural training for scientists and researchers working with and in international teams/settings
Scientists and researchers often work in diverse, international teams. Cultural differences can shape how we communicate, collaborate, and problem-solve, and different communication styles can lead to communication breakdowns and conflict.
Our Cross-Cultural Intelligence Training helps you appreciate cultural differences and build bridges to communicate better.
We’ll explore how culture influences behavior and communication, and equip you with the tools to navigate differences and build stronger relationships. Whether you’re engaging with colleagues, peers, or global audiences, this training equips you with practical strategies to minimise misunderstandings and foster productive collaborations.
We offer three flexible training formats:
Four-hour Workshop: Deep Dive into Cultural Intelligence
This interactive session explores cultural dimensions and communication styles, helping participants:
- Understand their own cultural values and preferences.
- Learn how cultural differences influence behavior and communication.
- Develop strategies to bridge cultural gaps and foster effective collaboration.
Outcomes: Participants gain a deeper awareness of their own cultural styles, insights into others’ perspectives, and practical tools for successful cross-cultural interactions.
Condensed Two-Hour Session for Conferences and Retreats
Designed for fast-paced settings, this session delivers key insights into cultural intelligence, including:
- A framework for understanding and navigating cultural differences.
- Practical strategies to improve communication across cultures.
Outcomes: Participants leave with actionable tips and a heightened awareness of how to engage effectively in multicultural environments.
Talks for Webinars or Keynotes
Engaging, thought-provoking talks tailored for conferences, webinars, or team events. Topics include:
- The impact of culture on communication and collaboration.
- Strategies for building cross-cultural bridges in science and research.
Outcomes: Attendees gain high-level insights into cultural intelligence, sparking curiosity and encouraging deeper exploration of intercultural collaboration.

Kind words
Loved this. So much information and still time for some good discussions with fellow students. I look forward to being able to use some of the ideas when I create my first poster.
I have just completed SciComm Success' Poster Design Workshop. It was full of interesting tips and tools, some of which I have already built into my poster planning. Although we had a big group and I expected a lecture/webinar format, Suzanne constantly invited us to provide feedback and our own experiences, and I enjoyed hearing what fellow biologists like and don't. I liked that the group was international and enjoyed the flexible and informal discussions - some via chat, some using whiteboards, some simple audio discussion. It felt as if we could all contribute, wherever we were. I would recommend this workshop for anyone new to creating posters for conferences. It would probably be a good refresher for poster presenters, too. Thank you, SEB, for the opportunity.
This was a good refresher on best practice planning and design for posters. I particularly enjoyed the sessions on tools for choosing colour palettes, which I have since used in other communication materials, and the discussion about online and virtual conferences, which was an eye-opener for me during COVID. Thank you, Suzanne!
