The workshop will provide practical guidelines for (1) preparing for research presentations that includes extracting parts of the subject/data to the design the slides and the talk. Then (2), I will focus on conducting the presentation combining the talk, slides, demos, and handouts, interacting with the audience and handling questions. Finally (3), I will talk on creating the follow up of the presentation, including establishing contacts, calling for action, and curating the presentation contents. Each part will combine a 15-minutes presentation followed by discussions and presentations.

Awesome tips on how you could
make you slide (slide design)
o You can write as much text on the slide as you need, because you
would like everyone to read everything precisely as you think of it!
o You can use bulletin points to present multiple ideas related to the title
of the slide (use not more than 6 bulletins! – 6 RULE).
o Using different colours and fonts attract attention and makes your
presentation look cool. You should use them a lot to avoid being
boring!
o Use a different font to emphasize important points
o Large fonts are good for stressing

Public speaking
The human brain starts
working the moment
you are born and never
stops until you stand up
to speak in public

The first big challenge is Public speaking.
Presenting is challenging -> Presenting you won work is even more challenging, as the public can judge both the form and the content.
Good news – you are smart, but you are good at you area of research, not in presenting/acting.
Decomposition of the problem.
Standard conference presentation. What do you think of when you hear “Presentation”? Slides?
Enhanced conference presentation
Is the story = to the article contents? These is what the conference presentations (SPEECHES/STORIES) usually look like.
These is what the academic audience usually wants to hear, but this is also what they hear every time, so they don’t want to hear ONLY that.
Why? Because if you present the article contents, it is dry like reading a document aloud. Even someone from the audience thinks that the presentation is interesting, they’d rather read the paper.
Paralanguage is a component of meta-communication that may modify or nuance meaning, or convey emotion, such as prosody, pitch, volume, intonation etc.
