How to Give an Effective Talk


Spread the love

We’ve all been there, sitting through yet another B-O-R-I-N-G seminar that you decided to attend because the title sounded so interesting, your boss told you to go or, let’s be honest, there was free food involved. Even the most beautiful science, at times, is presented in the most boring, impossible way to follow and, unfortunately, since we don’t get an official training on presentation skills, many of us fail to effectively present our own science and our talk ends up like in the “Piled Higher and Deeper” comic on your conference presentation.  Moreover, in today’s world, where people attention span is dropping every second, and you’re competing for attention with your audience’s smartphones, you must give an engaging, easy to follow presentation if you want anyone to remember you or your research!
