I have my first oral presentation at a conference coming up and I’m nervous about what questions I might get. Any advice on how to prepare and calm my nerves?

Practice your presentation a lot, and stop every so often to think about what questions might come up about what you have just said. As long as you feel good about the content you will talk about, any questions will be a piece of cake. Good luck!

Ask some family, friends or coworkers if you can rehearse your presentation for them and have them ask questions and give feedback. That's usually my go to

Correct me if I'm wrong but you are going to present on-board research that you did yourself? my best advice to you is that only you know what you worked for and only you know your work as well as you do, so don't hesitate to speak up and you will do great.

A strategy that has always worked for me is to write a speech about my presentation and then listen to it several times, after listening to it imagine the kind of doubts that can be generated by what I am explaining and answer these questions. Try it and let me know how it goes.

I like to do mine in front of a mirror a bunch of times till I feel ready but I've been told by a few people that they feel weird about doing that

We start school tomorrow and we were just told we will have one session (50) mins. of open periods in our fixed schedules due to smaller class sizes in 4 grade levels. However, we are meeting (library, pe,music,art) team with admin tomorrow to discuss what “to do” during our “free time”. I explained that I am doing two jobs (teaching library & tech & running a library w/ a new aide who needs to be trained). I need more ideas to support my team to not fill those “slots” with instructional groups.

Guilt and shame about working in a legal position for years where, instead of using my law degree (was supposed to do legal work per the job posting), I served as a personal assistant to my boss/did nothing for maybe half the time. I feel like I was paid for work I didn't do. I've since left that job but the guilt and shame remains. I feel that I lack the character of a lawyer and that I am unworthy of the profession. I don't know how to make up for the lost years or how to forgive myself.

It is elementary that the development of a theory is based on completed and finished works or theories with a sufficient basis to be possible. But what were guys like Plato based on?

Salaries would be comparable (Lilly would most likely be a little more with bonuses), but if the culture sucks, I’d hate to burn a bridge with Envigo.
