Research communication (3/3): Delivering effective talks
TBD

Jean-luc Doumont Principiae

Oral presentations are about having something to say and being able to say it—instead of just “explaining slides” to the audience. This workshop offers a no-nonsense approach to structuring and delivering research talks. It also offers tips on how to manage the nervousness associated with speaking in public. (For a discussion of slides, see the first module in this series on research communication: The three laws of communication.)

Learning Outcomes
This workshop will enable you to:

• organize your research story into a meaningful sequence;
• deliver your talk effectively, both verbally and nonverbally;
• channel your stage fright into positive stress instead of panic.

Intended Audience
This workshop is open to all with a technical attendee badge. No advance registration is required. However, seating is limited and will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. This workshop is intended for anyone who prepares and delivers research presentations. Students are encouraged to attend!
