SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS SEMINARCICASP Seminar in Science Communication #158
PRI’s Most Misunderstood Fields
5:00 PM–6:00 PM, Wednesday, June 23, 2021 (on Zoom)
Have you ever had a conversation with somebody about your work when it was clear thatthey had no idea what you do or even what you were talking about? In the last workshop,
we went through and discussed the common stereotypes about science and scientists.
Participants also shared their relevant experiences and thoughts. Although we did nothave the time to cover the potential way to resolve the misunderstanding, we all noticed
it is a problem worth further exploration.

Q&A 101: a roundtable to defuse the confusion
5:00 PM–6:00 PM, Wednesday, June 30, 2021
To be held on Zoom (see email announcements for access details)
Do you dread arriving at the end of your talk because you just know that someone in theaudience is going to ask you that single question that devalues everything you justsaid? Are you one of those people that always asks "did I answer your question" after
each of your responses? Do you consider yourself that one audience member who
seems to fire off heat-seeking questions like missiles aimed at the heart of every upand-coming young scientist?
If you resonate with any of these questions, then you might consider joining us at our
next workshop: "Q&A 101: a roundtable to defuse the confusion".
In the workshop, we'll discuss the art of the Q&A period following any presentation. After
identifying the context and the players, we'll walk through some tips and tricks to help
you through one of the most awkward (potentially) situations that exist in academia.
We'll discuss some common pitfalls, provide some useful language and tactics, andeven address your role as an audience member during a Q&A session.
To get you thinking ahead of this workshop, we'd like you to think about any awkward
Q&A experiences you've had in the past. What was the context, what went wrong andwhy? How did you handle it and did you salvage the situation? Or, did you ultimately failto handle it well, crashing and burning along the way? We'll start the workshop with yourstories from the trenches, so we look forward to seeing you there and sharing both yourfailures and your successes!

Q&A 101: a roundtable to defuse the confusion（アクセスの詳細は案内メールを見てください）。
あなたは研究発表において、聴衆の誰かがあなたが今話したことすべてを台無しにするような質問をしてくることを知っているために、発表が終盤にさしかかることを恐れていますか？あなたは、聴衆からの質問に答えるたびに、「ちゃんと質問に答えられただろうか？」と自問する人々のうちのひとりだと思いますか？またあなたは自身のことを、新進気鋭の若い科学者の心臓を狙うミサイルのような、熱のこもった質問を投げかけてくる聴衆の一人だと思いますか？
これらの質問に心当たりのある方は、次回のワークショップへの参加をご検討ください。"Q&A101: a roundtable to defuse the confusion」です。
次回のワークショップでは、プレゼンテーション後の質疑応答の手法について議論します。文
脈と関係者を確認した後、学術界に存在する最も気まずい（可能性のある）状況の一つを乗り切るためのヒントとコツを説明します。よくある落とし穴について議論し、便利な言葉や戦術を提供し、質疑応答における聴衆としてのあなたの役割についても説明します。
このワークショップに先立ち、過去に経験した質疑応答での気まずい出来事について考えてみてください。どのような状況だったのか、何が問題だったのか、そしてその理由は？あなたはどのように対処し、その場を切り抜けましたか？それとも、うまく対処できずに途中で心が折れてしまいましたか？このワークショップでは、皆さんの失敗談や成功談をお聞きします！
