Organiza(on  

•  End  on  (me  •  Right  amount  of  material  •  Have  a  (me  budget  for  each  slide  •  Work  towards  a  take-­‐home  message  •  UncluAered  slides  that  enhance  your  words  •  Rehearse  your  talk  at  least  3  /mes  •  Did  I  men(on  ending  on  (me?

Content  

•  Work  towards  a  take-­‐home  message  •  Focus  on  results,  with  short  mo(va(on  •  Make  it  clear  and  simple  •  Lots  of  graphical  informa(on,  clearly  presented  •  Keep  text  short,  and  don’t  read  from  your  slide  •  No  long-­‐winded  introduc(ons  –  short  (<1min)  outline  

•  Punchy  summary  

3  

During  the  talk  

•  Face  the  audience,  not  the  slides  •  Your  slides  should  support  you,  not  dominate  you  •  Describe  your  slides;  it  takes  (me  for  the  audience  to  process  graphical  informa(on  and  understand  its  significance  

•  Don’t  read  text  –  audience  can  read  much  more  quickly  than  you  can  

•  Make  eye  contact;  have  good  body  language  •  Watch  where  you  stand  

4  

Bits  and  pieces  

•  Title  slide:    your  name  &  affilia(on  your  advisor’s  name  &  affilia(on  any  funding  informa(on      the  date!  

•  Acknowledgements  to  colleagues  come  at  the  end  and  need  not  be  read  out.  

•  Summary  slide  can  be  led  up  at  the  end  for  people  to  read  if  (me  runs  out.  

5  

Good  habits  

•  UncluAered  slides  •  Clear  message  •  Use  a  long  pointer  or  a  laser  pointer  •  Listen  carefully  to  ques(ons  •  Be  able  to  nego(ate  to  a  given  slide  in  ONE  keystroke  (number  your  slides)  

•  Wear  nice  clothes  –  shows  respect  for  your  audience  

6  

Bad  habits  

•  Holding  on  to  a  coffee  cup  all  the  way  through  your  talk  

•  Using  your  hand  to  point  something  out  on  a  slide  •  Geing  in  the  way  of  the  image  -­‐  shoulders  par(cularly  are  a  problem  here!    

•  Finishing  peoples’  ques(ons  for  them.  •  Flipping  back  through  slides,  desperately  searching  for  one  that  you  could  equally  well  refer  to  with  a  well  chosen  phrase    

7  

What  not  to  say  

•  I'll  come  back  to  this  if  I  have  (me.    (You  won't.)    

•  I  won't  show  you  this  slide.  •  You  can't  really  see  it  from  this  slide,  but  ........  

8  

What  to  do  •  Prac(ce  your  talk  beforehand;  at  least  3  (mes.    (It  always  takes  twice  as  long  in  the  shower,  because  you  go  back  and  correct  yourself).    

•  Look  at  your  slides  beforehand  from  the  back  of  the  room.    

•  Stand  well  away  from  the  overhead  projector  when  you  talk,  and  face  the  audience,  not  the  screen.    Make  eye  contact  with  many  people.  

•  Know  your  audience.    •  Relax,  smile,  you're  doing  fine!
