Description
Like it or not, to be a successful scientist nowadays you must be an effective public speaker. Regardless of field or career path, scientists must communicate convincingly their research in front of different audiences, including commitees, lay audiences, other researchers and students.
The good news is: There are quick and simple ways to enhance your scientific presentations and to communicate your results in an engaging, exciting and convincing way. These simple techniques will quickly set you apart from other researchers and improve radically your presentations. Our workshop is highly practical so be prepared to actively participate in numerous fun and engaging expercises and to deliver a short (roughly 5 minutes) presentation of your current research project.
