Conference Presentations Question?
I've been stressing out and finding flaws with each part of my application and now it's time to turn to my CV.
I asked a few days ago about whether skipping a conference for a certain association 1 year would look "strange" and what you all said, makes perfect sense. Thank you.
Now I'm concerned about the paper titles and topics. A few are related directly to my own research interests and what I plan to do my dissertation on, however a few are not related. I am pretty certain I was told by a colleague of mine many years ago that if you are going to go to conferences and present, you should present papers that have to do with your main research interests, otherwise adcoms will think you are unfocused. Is this sound advice? It doesn't seem right to me.
My other question is what is the general rule of presenting the same paper at 2 different conferences? Again, I was told to avoid that, and that you should try to change something in the first paper when you present it a second time.
