There are many ways in which scientists communicate their work, publications, poster or oral presentations or via individual conversations. In terms of leaving a deep impression about your work and yourself, oral presentations are a very powerful way. However, many scientists are scared of the prospect to stand in front of a large and potentially critical audience to present their work. They rush through the presentations, clinging onto overloaded slides and miss a crucial chance to show themselves in a positive light.

In this interactive workshop, we´ll cover the following topics:

Preparation

Target the audience and setting
Have or craft a storyline
From start to finish. ‘Clamp’ your presentation

Slide design

No overloaded slides!
Graphics vs. text
Best- and worst-practice examples

Your performance

Stage fright: enjoy the adrenaline rush
Body language
Personality types: can you score well as an introvert? How authentic can/shall you be? – Pace, voice, interaction
Stylistic figures

Q&A sessions: and you just thought it´s over already…

Be an active scientist: asking questions yourself
Counter challenging questions

You have the opportunity to receive a video feedback of your presentation.
