Speaker
Description
This short hands-on workshop is meant to give you practical help to improve your next scientific presentation (i.e. talk based on slides). Given the timing we could focus on your iDiv conference oral presentations and improve them. But any other presentation purpose is welcome too of course. Three hours are not much and thus I will focus on main principles. It’s very little about design principles, colors, style or your content itself. But its also not about vague meta level buzzwords, its hands on using your material.
The workshop is meant to be interactive in an informal setting. It’s mainly based on my own taste and experiences of listening and giving bacillions of presentations. I want to create an atmosphere of trust, where all participants can give open and honest feedbacks. This workshop should help you. I will show with few real examples of slides and different presentation styles how the 1) way you present your scientific story as well as how 2) different ways of slide structures and elements can improve your presentation skills and the way how your audience perceive, understand and remember your research.
You will need a finalized! presentation you want to show and improve, a laptop with the respective software to work on the slides. Depending on the number of participants some (or all) will present examples of these presentations before and after we jointly worked on the slides. Be prepared to present your slides in front of the participants. Be prepared to receive critical feedback meant to improve your presentation.
Maybe I can’t help you, maybe we as a team don’t see potential for improvement. But I hope at the end of this short session, some of the participants leave with a better conscious and confidence how to give a good scientific talk about their research.
