ジョブ・トークは通常のプレゼンと全く違うということをまず認識すべきだ。時折全く練習せずにぶっつけ本番で臨む方や、論文に使われた図をそっくりそのままを使う方を見かけるが、自殺行為である。せっかく高倍率をくぐり抜けて面接まで辿り着いているのだから、万全の準備で臨みたい。ポイントは「研究の価値と将来性を専門家以外にもわかるように宣伝する」ことであり、私が当時受けたアドバイスは、「スライドを見ずにしゃべって、ピッタリ 45 分くらいで終われるようになるまで練習しろ」というものであった。 … ジョブ・トークもチョーク・トークも、その出来が結果に大きく影響することは間違いない。が、意外に侮れないのが個々のミーティングだ。英語でいうinter-personal skill(日本語では対人能力、雑談力とでも訳せばいいのだろうか)が問われる。私が受けたアドバイスは、個人面談が予定されている相手の研究内容は前もって概要を理解しておけ、可能であれば論文を読め、会話の途中で話題に事欠き両者揃って沈黙する時間を生み出さないようにせよ、というものであった。 … 心理的にヒトは自分に興味を持ってくれる相手には好感を持ちやすいからで、特に採用側の人間は全員、この先何十年と一緒に仕事をするかもしれない相手として、自分と会話をしていることを肝に銘じたい。(徒然独立日記 〜黎明編〜 小島 志保子 Department of Biological Sciences, Biocomplexity Institute, Virginia Tech PDF)*太字下線強調は当サイト
Know your audience. … Your talk should be accessible to everyone while still having enough methodological rigor to impress peers who use similar methods.
Know your data. … you should know your data well, and know it in a way that is both deep (i.e., you can get into the nitty-gritty of the methods), and broad (i.e., you can tie your methods and findings to the broader conversations the field is having about your topic).
Discuss implications. The implications section is the part of the presentation where you have to sell your ideas, approach or findings as novel and/or important. It is fine to really sell it here. Is the study the first that did X? Make sure to say so.
Answer the question that was asked. Remember, every question is an opportunity to demonstrate — or fail to demonstrate — competence. The way that you answer a question reveals if you have thought about your topic deeply or are capable of engaging with unfamiliar territory in a thoughtful way. Take the opportunity to communicate that you understood the reason the question was asked.
Come with questions. … For faculty and search committee members, ask about the department’s strengths and weaknesses, what they are looking for in junior faculty and any changes they anticipate in the department in the future.
Build a rapport. “You need to communicate in a comfortable, accessible way, make direct connection with your audience through the use of humor, anecdotes or illustrations, and invite back-and-forth conversation, either throughout the talk or during special time reserved at the end.”
In the end, your objective is to make sure your audience enjoys themselves, Neimeyer says. “If they are laughing, talking, asking questions, or otherwise showing interest and involvement, then you can be sure they are viewing you and your work favorably.”
Practice, practice and practice. … Practice giving the job talk to colleagues, an advisor and other faculty, and ask for candid feedback. This will also allow you to prepare for the types of questions people will ask during the Q&A at the end of the talk.
Your job talk is your one-hour audition for the role of a professor. Think of it like a music or acting audition, except here professors are your judges. By the end of your hour on stage, you need to get the professors in the audience so excited about the research you’ve done, so inspired by your future research vision, and so energized by watching your performance that they will be proud to call you a colleague.

5:27 [SLIDE] The Job Search Committee
Most of the search committee don’t have a clue about your field
– Few know your boss
– Fe know your techniques
– None know your jargon
They have defined criteria to meet
– What technology you will anchor
– What project(s) you will serve on to start
– Waht headcount (人員) you will inherit
– What scientific resources you will need
– Whose former lab space you are getting
9:10 Did you think up the idea or you were just told to do it?
9:16 Did you collaborate?
9:44 As projects become bigger and more complicated, they need collaboration with people amongst other people with a lot of different skill sets. So, you need to demonstrate during the couse of your talk that you collaborated with other people to get the work done.
10:37 Are you a good thinker?
11:30 Before you go, you need to practice what you are going to do.
12:13 The talk that you are going to give for the job need to be needs to be understandable by a reasonablly well-educated scientist, not just the specialist.
12:55 Practice your delivery.

In my 2 years of knowing Sandy, I have seen him engaged only sporadically on campus. I have seen that he struggles in social settings, especially when working in team environments. I know he is working hard to improve this, but I feel that this makes him a weak candidate for the scholarship. (ucalgary.ca)

If true, it would be a profound leap of science and ethics. (Chinese researcher claims first gene-edited babies

His sperm has been used to create 36 children: 19 boys and 17 girls from 26 families
Chris Aggeles, a now 39-year-old man from Georgia, has struggled with serious mental illness for much of his adult life. In addition to schizophrenia, court documents show he has had diagnoses of bipolarandnarcissistic personality disorders, and has described himself as having schizoaffective disorder.
He has a history of run-ins with the law, has done time in jail, dropped out of college and struggled in the past to hold down jobs. (He was the perfect sperm donor. Then 26 families found out he wasn’t By THERESA BOYLEHealth Sat., April 9, 2016 THE STAR)

相模原市立総合学習センターでは「現状の環境で可能なプログラミング教育」を目指し、「PC教室の活用」と「教師のスキルアップ」で対応するようである。PC教室を使えば、機器もLANも整備しているし、すべての学校が同じ環境で取り組むことができる。今回プログラミングツールにScratchを選んだのも、視聴覚の研究会等で使い慣れているNHK for Schoolに参考動画があるのと、Webで利用できるからで、いずれもPC教室で無線LANを気にせず72校全校で利用出来るからだ。指導する教師のスキルアップには昨年から取り組んでいる。本年度は72校から4年生の担任1名以上受講者約120名を6回に分けて招集、総合学習センターのPCルームを使い研修を実施した。ほとんどの教師がプログラミングは初体験であったが、「これならできそうだ」と評判は良かった。また、全ての教師がわかるようにするための授業パッケージを整備。指導案やワークシート、研修資料に加え実際の授業の様子を収録して解説を加えた動画までセットに加えた。(ICT環境がなくても「今すぐに出来るプログラミング教育」/相模原市 2017年11月9日 ICT教育ニュース)

A. 性欲は食欲などと同様に本能的なものですから、完全に抑えることはできません。他人に迷惑をかけない範囲で、日常生活に支障をきたさない範囲で、満たしてやればよいと思います。どうやったら満たされるかは人それぞれなので、私は知りません。自分の心の声を聞いてください。極度の空腹や睡眠不足の状態を考えればわかると思いますが、本能的な欲求はある程度は満たしておかないと、勉強を含め高度な活動はできません。(引用元:YAHOO!JAPAN知恵袋 2014/8/12 10:25:23)
