Slides: The Resilient PhD/Postdoc - Building Habits to Combat Information Fatigue

Header Slide

These are the slides for a presentation I held as the IOER postdoc representative. The workshop was an internal event for PhDs and Postdocs at the institute. This is a neutral, public version of the slides for anyone interested. The content covers a number of my personal principles and technical tips for academic workflows.

Process Notes

This was the first time I used AI Studio to help finalize a presentation. I think overall, it went well and helped me compile the presentation in a very short time (I had only about 4 hours total preparation time). I used it to translate my raw thoughts and structural notes into organized Markdown files for the RevealJS presentation. The process was very efficient for this task.

My Prompting Workflow in AI Studio

In the presentation, I showed an example of my prompting workflow. The screenshot shows the prompt structure that I provided. A link to the static HTML version of the prompt is here: https://slides.ad.ioer.info/resilient-habits/assets/prompt.htm

For offline viewing of Gemini conversations, the following open source tool is very useful. It can parse and render the exported JSON files. Project Link: https://github.com/marcelamayr/Gemini-json-Viewer
