He made an example to illustrate that I should work on my presentation of new ideas (freely cited, not his actual words): “When I present my view to solve a mathematical problem I need to include to things: (1) I need to provide a number of concrete steps towards the solution, i.e. first I proof this, then I proof this, … and I have to point to the basic methods I will be using, e.g. I’ll use graph theory rather then topology. (2) I need to point to my previous accomplishments, i.e. some steps I have already addressed. Then people will accept it more likely.” Cris also said, that for the existing achievements, I do not necessarily have to provide my own work, but I can point to existing research and that will increase my acceptance. So what I will do for my seminar talk is, to put more emphasis on the methods and related work part. And I will use many examples to illustrate my approach. I will have a look at Cris GoogleTalk again.
