CHESTNUT CHAT SERIES
RETHINKING SCIENTIFIC PRESENTATIONS: THE ASSERTION−EVIDENCE STRUCTURE
Join us on March 15, 2024, from 11:30AM – 1:00PM (EPT), for the next LIVE
Chestnut Chat. As chestnut enthusiasts, we often find ourselves sharing complex
information with friends, family, and strangers. The good news is that you can
make your science presentations more effective! In this episode, Penn State’s
Michael Alley will speak about a better way; the assertion-evidence approach. In
this approach, a speaker builds the talk on key messages supported by visual
evidence. Michael’s research has found that assertion-evidence talks are more
focused and much better understood by audiences. Join us to learn how to step up
your science presentation game!

SCIENCE STRATEGIES

United for Restoration
The American Chestnut Foundation takes a holistic approach toward chestnut
restoration, utilizing a three-pronged research strategy known as 3BUR
(Breeding, Biotechnology, and Biocontrol United for Restoration). These research
tracks are meant to be integrated through collaborations that are mutually
beneficial, so we can explore all avenues to reach the common goal of saving and
restoring this species as quickly as possible.

Heather SauveBoy oh boy, the algorithm is spot on for me today! My dad has long
supported TACF, even taking my son on a road trip there to learn about blight.
(Dad, MI- son, VA) It was quite an excursion for them but my dad thought it was
very important for him to learn. I have just started rowing this past year (only
indoor on an erg, I have yet to make it on the water). So your story married my
family's interests. Great job on both your rowing adventures as well as
promoting The American Chestnut Foundation . What a great story. And the boat
looks sharp!!!
