Becoming an Effective Presenter of Engineering and Science: Guidelines and Video Examples

"Like scientific papers, oral presentations at a conference or internal seminar are for sharing your research work with other scientists. They, too, must convince the audience that the research presented is important, valid, and relevant to them. To this end, oral presentations — like papers — must emphasize both the motivation for the work and the outcome of it, and they must present just enough evidence to establish the validity of this outcome. Also like papers, they must aim to inform, not impress."

Expert presenters share advice on how to capture and hold the attention of a conference crowd.

"Presenting data efficiently is a skill crucial for academic success, but not every scientist is a natural born communicator. In addition, this skill is not formally taught during most residencies or fellowships. As a result, young presenters are at risk for presentations that are both stressful to deliver and ineffective. Practice and exposure to role models help, but early formal exposure to the science of a good delivery might avoid perpetuating mistakes. This descriptive review aims to provide useful tips for new presenters by building in the body of knowledge in data delivery, graphics, visual sciences, and personal observations. It will be divided into content and format. The content section will address the goals and framework of the presentation. The format section will address font and typeface, color, tables, and graphics. We will end with specific differential tips for the platform and poster formats."
