Excitingly, 2013 marked the Stories can be told in many ways. Good 2013 was a year of increased momentum compared to your competition. Even negative or mixed results rst extension of activities outside China. In collaboration with the scientic stories usually follow a narrative in investment in scientic research and can be presented in such a way as to drive the narrative forward. Japanese Biochemistry Society (JBS) we hosted an independent form typical of a well-rounded tale, with a education by governments in the In terms of timing of your presentation, running over by a minute session at JBS’s 86th annual meeting in Yokohama.

Narrating the story of your returning to Asia; there is a real sense of because you did not plan well. Too many times, I have witnessed and open discussion as our meetings in Suzhou and Cold Spring scientic discovery through a scientic optimism and condence in the air.

Here are a number of points to the highlights of 2013, the CSHA optical imaging meeting to integrate your work in a broader context. And when handling consider: has evolved into one of the CSHA’s signature meetings the discussion after your talk, avoid condescending or patronizing and is now a key event in this particular eld: the list of the the person asking the question-sometimes it can help to rephrase Firstly, know your audience.

A broader imaging. While all our meetings attract signicant numbers audience needs more context of why your work is of distinguished and established scientists as speakers, in In summary, my general advice to would-be presenters is that important, and how it ts into the wider picture. A highly many ways the real highlights of each program are the practice makes perfect. Know your slides, practice by presenting specialized audience may need at most one introductory outstanding short talks given by promising junior scientists the talk or poster out loud to peers, practice at home and practice slide or gure, before you go into the details of your from key labs around the Asia-Pacic region. research. At all times, try to keep your audience engaged, on your way to the conference. That will ensure you get your message across, and can lead to useful discussion, even when you are in front of hundreds of people, through Deeply ingrained into Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s eye contact, pacing and style. collaborations or even job offers! Don’t overwhelm your audience with too much content. However much work you and your labmates may have done, think carefully about how much material you can present in the allotted time. Make sure you leave enough time for your novel and unpublished work to be showcased, since what you are looking for is feedback and comment on work you plan to publish, not what is already in the public domain. 1 2 3 4 2013 CONFERENCE AND COURSE PROGRAM / Cold Spring Harbor Asia 2013 CONFERENCE AND COURSE PROGRAM / Cold Spring Harbor Asia MECHANISMS AND FUNCTIONS OF NON-APOPTOTIC CELL DEATH 非凋亡性细胞死亡的机制和功能 April 15-19 148 Participants ORGANIZED BY Junying Yuan, Harvard Medical School, USA 美国哈佛大学医学院 Jiahuai Han, Xiamen University, CHINA 中国厦门大学 Masayuki Miura, University of Tokyo, JAPAN 日本东京大学 Peter Vandenabeele, Ghent University, VIB, BELGIUM 比利时根特大学 KEYNOTE SPEAKER Shigekazu Nagata, Kyoto University, Graduate School of Medicine, JAPAN 日本京都大学医学研究生院 PROGRAM SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION OF NECROPTOSIS I INVITED SPEAKERS Jiahuai Han, Xiamen University, CHINA Avi Ashkenazi, Genentech, Inc., USA 美国基因工程技术公司 Eric Baehrecke, University of Massachusetts Medical School, USA 美国麻省大学医学院 Alexei Degterev, Tufts University, USA 美国塔夫斯大学 PATHOLOGICAL ROLES OF NECROPTOSIS Douglas Green, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, USA 美国圣裘德儿童研究医院 Peter Vandenabeele, Ghent University, VIB, BELGIUM William Kaiser, Emory University, USA 美国埃默里大学 Sharad Kumar, Centre for Cancer Biology, AUSTRALIA 澳大利亚肿瘤生物学中心 NON-APOPTOTIC CELL DEATH AND HOST DEFENSE RESPONSE Masayuki Miura, University of Tokyo, JAPAN 东京大学 Francis Chan, University of Massachusetts Medical School, USA Zheng-Hong Qin, Soochow University School of Pharmaceutical Science, CHINA 中国苏州大学药学院 Shai Shaham, The Rockefeller University, USA 美国洛克菲勒大学 FROM APOPTOSIS TO NON-APOPTOSIS Yigong Shi, Tsinghua University, CHINA 中国清华大学 Shigeomi Shimizu, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, JAPAN 东京医科歯科大学 Adrian T.
