My PhD colleagues and I have tried Prezi, a newish presentation tool and an alternative to Power Point, a few times for formal presentations already. This is one of my first serious attempts. I used the presentation to introduce myself to students at the Business School Potsdam last semester. I was inspired by Brooke Ahrens, who provided a Prezi template for others to use.

Call for Papers for Special Issue: The Psychology of Organizational Networks
This special issue aims to renew the early promise of cross-disciplinary research in organizational networks. We encourage submissions that marry, extend, challenge, and reconcile sociological and psychological theories and methods to break new ground into our understanding of the emergence, structuration, and consequences of organizational networks. We welcome studies of interpersonal networks within and between groups and organizations, as well as studies of how individual perceptions of network structure influence organizational phenomena. Submissions may use a variety of methodologies and data (e.g., field, laboratory, qualitative, and quantitative).
