Our student attendees are the future of our conference and our field of research.  ELEVATE Program organizers have curated an array of activities encompassing not only conference specific training, but ongoing career guidance and networking opportunities with seasoned members of our research and industry partners.

Workshop Descriptions

Date: Wednesday, February 9, 2022 and Wednesday, March 9, 2022

Time: 10:00 a.m. EST and 5:00 p.m. EST

Location: Virtual

Fee: Complimentary to those that register

Organizer: Abiola Temidayo Oloye, Applied Superconductivity Center, NHMFL, FSU

Event Description: Scientific communication is an essential but often overlooked skill in higher educational institutions. To address this gap, ASC’22 DEI presents a Virtual Abstract Writing Workshop (VAWW) with the aim to help prepare participants, aimed particularly at students and young professionals, to write higher quality abstracts. Great abstracts should be able to capture the readers’ attention with as little words as possible while conveying an effective summary of their scientific processes and results. Given that the language standard for scientific communication is generally in the English language, persons whose first language is not English face additional challenges in the scientific writing process. This event will address this need by providing examples of good quality abstracts and explore the pitfalls of abstract writing and how to avoid them while providing useful resources for non-native English speakers. This virtual event will be held during the abstract submission window.

Workshop Instructor:

Dr. Peter J. Lee, Deputy Director: Applied Superconductivity Center, NHMFL, FSU

Peter Lee was Program Chair for the 2020 Applied Superconductivity Conference and has served on the Program Committee since 2000. He was also on the Editorial Board of IEEE Trans. Applied Superconductivity from 2008 to 2018. He is currently Deputy Director of the Applied Superconductivity Center at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (Florida State University).

Date: Sunday, August 7, 2022 and Sunday, August 28, 2022

Time: 10:00 a.m. EDT and 5:00 p.m. EDT

Location: Virtual

Fee: Complimentary to those that register

Organizer: Charlie Sanabria, CFS Energy

Event Description: Despite being one of the most crucial steps in the scientific process, scientific writing is rarely taught in educational institutions. In this virtual manuscript preparation workshop we will go through some of the most common elements of style which can make scientific papers more impactful and easier to read. Our workshop will touch many areas: from basic scientific objectivity, to paragraph and manuscript structure, as well as storytelling and flow. We will show various examples of sentences, figures, tables, and paragraphs which can be transformed to create a clearer message—making the key take-aways stand out and, most importantly, be remembered by the readers.

The event is open to all ASC 2022 participants. Registration is required. Please join the discussion!

Date: Monday, October 24, 2022

Time: 12:45 p.m.

Location: Ballroom A

Speaker: Dr. Julia M. Williams

Organizer: Dr. Daniel S. Davis, Applied Superconductivity Center, NHMFL, FSU

Event Description: As you prepare to initiate a job search, you will certainly update your resume, maybe even your wardrobe. But have you considered how you will talk about yourself and your work when a recruiter asks, So tell me about your research? Rather than speaking off the cuff, successful job seekers create a professional “story” that helps them describe not only what they did but why it prepared them well for the job they want. During this lunchtime session, you’ll have the chance to hear effective professional “stories,” as well as write your own story. You’ll also try out your story and receive feedback. By the end of the session, you’ll have a professional story that brings your resume to life.

Those attending this course will have the opportunity of signing up for a single 15-minute one-on-one coaching session with Julia taking place during the Monday or Tuesday poster sessions.

The event is open to all ASC 2022 participants. Registration is required. Please join the discussion!

Location: Virtual

Fee: Complimentary to those that register

Organizer: Abiola Temidayo Oloye, Applied Superconductivity Center, NHMFL, FSU

Event Description: Scientific communication is an essential but often overlooked skill in higher educational institutions. To address this gap, ASC’22 DEI presents a Virtual Abstract Writing Workshop (VAWW) with the aim to help prepare participants, aimed particularly at students and young professionals, to write higher quality abstracts. Great abstracts should be able to capture the readers’ attention with as little words as possible while conveying an effective summary of their scientific processes and results. Given that the language standard for scientific communication is generally in the English language, persons whose first language is not English face additional challenges in the scientific writing process. This event will address this need by providing examples of good quality abstracts and explore the pitfalls of abstract writing and how to avoid them while providing useful resources for non-native English speakers. This virtual event will be held during the abstract submission window.

Workshop Instructor:

Dr. Peter J. Lee, Deputy Director: Applied Superconductivity Center, NHMFL, FSU

Peter Lee was Program Chair for the 2020 Applied Superconductivity Conference and has served on the Program Committee since 2000. He was also on the Editorial Board of IEEE Trans.

Time: 10:00 a.m. EDT and 5:00 p.m. EDT

Location: Virtual

Fee: Complimentary to those that register

Organizer: Charlie Sanabria, CFS Energy

Event Description: Despite being one of the most crucial steps in the scientific process, scientific writing is rarely taught in educational institutions. In this virtual manuscript preparation workshop we will go through some of the most common elements of style which can make scientific papers more impactful and easier to read. Our workshop will touch many areas: from basic scientific objectivity, to paragraph and manuscript structure, as well as storytelling and flow. We will show various examples of sentences, figures, tables, and paragraphs which can be transformed to create a clearer message—making the key take-aways stand out and, most importantly, be remembered by the readers.

The event is open to all ASC 2022 participants. Registration is required. Please join the discussion!
