Dr Timothy Olawumi was a resource person at WAiC Webinar
Sep 27, 2022

Summary Dr Timothy Olawumi was invited as a guest speaker/resource person at a Webinar hosted by Women Academics in Construction (WAiC) on September 27, 2022.

Title: Getting Published in High Impact Journals: Salient Tips

During his talk, he emphasised the following key points: (i) how participants could enhance their writing skills; (ii) how they could develop their capacity to engage; (iii) mistakes to avoid when undertaking research and writing their manuscripts - codenamed "Shredding Editors' Love Letters"; and (iv) how they could develop and perfect their skills to publish in reputable and high impact factor journals.

The Webinar session was highly engaging, as attendees took advantage of the opportunity to ask questions, deepening their understanding of some of the research tools/software I covered during my presentation, among other things.

Positive comments were made about the session, and both participants and organisers said that they got more than they expected. They were also pleased for certain software I suggested and demonstrated.

Participants join the seminars from all around the world, including Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia. (Recorded version available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6aiWMuqAfc)

Summary Dr Timothy Olawumi was a panelist on a Live Talk Show – the ConstructionCarbonTalk organised by Leeds Beckett University and YORhub (Partner - https://www.yorhub.com/).

Title: How does BIM facilitate Carbon Reduction during Construction Projects
Panelists: Dr Timothy Olawumi AND Rachel Sudlow (R&D Lead at SCAPE)

This episode of the ConstructionCarbonTalk focused on how BIM can be utilised to facilitate collaboration in reducing carbon emission in construction projects (and during its operational phase).
The ConstructionCarbonTalk was streamed live on platforms such as Youtube (recording - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPDI3y-aNog) and LinkedIn.

According to the Talk Show Host, Suhaib Arogundade (on LinkedIn) after this TalkShow episode – “our audience increased by about 100% during the liveshow with great engagement”.
Construction Carbon Talk shows aimed to facilitates collaboration amongst industry stakeholders to reduce construction carbon footprint while also promoting shared learning across the industry both in the UK and internationally.
