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.

Non-Verbal Communication Skills for Scientists and Researchers
Build awareness and skills to increase presence, project confidence and create rapport
Non-verbal communication plays a crucial role in how others perceive us, how we build relationships, and how effectively we convey our messages. Our Non-Verbal Communication Skills Workshop helps scientists and researchers understand, interpret, and master body language and other non-verbal cues to increase credibility, build rapport, and enhance professional interactions.
What we’ll cover:
- The foundations of non-verbal communication: body language, facial expressions, voice, space, and more.
- How to recognise and interpret non-verbal cues in others to improve understanding and collaboration.
- Techniques to project confidence, create rapport, and avoid self-sabotaging signals.
- Strategies to adapt non-verbal communication across cultures and in online settings.
- Hands-on practice to apply learning in real-world situations.
Our non-verbal communication training can be tailored to your needs in the following formats:
- 3-Hour Workshop: Comprehensive training delivered online or in person.
- Condensed Version: A 60-90 minute interactive webinar or talk, ideal for larger groups.

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!
