ONLINE Presentation Skills for Scientists

Junior research scientists (all disciplines) from academia and industry, particularly those starting to present their work at conferences and seminars. It is also useful for scientists who want to present technical material to companies or investors.

A half-day course.

To help delegates to identify their strengths and weaknesses in presenting a scientific talk, both in verbal delivery and in the organisation of visual material.
To provide detailed guidance on both of the above aspects of scientific presentation so that delegates can use this for their own professional development.

This half-day course, unlike many presentation skills courses, is designed specifically for the practising scientist. Using our expertise in both science and communication skills, we help to solve common problems (such as nervousness and voice control), as well as those unique to scientists presenting the results of their research.

The course includes practical instruction on key topics associated with slide content and the process of verbal delivery. Each delegate is then asked to deliver a short scientific presentation with digital slides and to answer questions.

We usually recommend that a maximum of eight delegates attend each session to ensure that each individual gets as much attention as possible. The trainers Ed Zanders and Lindsay MacLeod have written Presentation Skills for Scientists - a Practical Guide which delegates can purchase at a reduced price.
