Kia ora colleagues,

A warm reminder that abstracts for ADSA 2022: Travelling Together, Waipapa Taumata Rau | The University of Auckland, 6 to 9 December, are due on Monday 25 April. Conference registration will also open on that date. For conference information, please see the conference website at https://www.adsaconference2022.com/. Abstracts and queries can be submitted to emma.willis@auckland.ac.nz. The ADSA 2022 team at Waipapa Taumata Rau can't wait to see you in December!

To that end, ADSA is also offering an abstract writing workshop in advance of the submission deadline:

The Art of the Abstract
Wednesday 20 April, 10am AEST, via Zoom

Please join us for a professional development session organised by the Postgraduate Committee on the Art of the Abstract. Our expert panel, which includes Dr Emma Willis (one of the convenors of the 2022 ADSA Conference), will share their tips and tricks on crafting an effective abstract, speaking to a call for papers, and how to balance specific detail and overall shape in 300 words or fewer. There will be some time to workshop your ideas with other attendees, and get advice on your abstracts from the panellists. All ADSA members are welcome to join us, regardless of career stage; if you have any questions, please reach out to our PG/ECR reps, Anita (a.hallewas@student.unsw.edu.au) and Gareth (g.belling@uq.net.au). 

If you are unable to attend the event, the advice section will be recorded, and made available in the Postgrad and ECR section of the ADSA Members-Only Area, where you can also find a record of our recent session on Peer Review 101.

Best wishes,
Chris, for the ADSA Board.
