Lectures and seminars PhD student seminar: Anna Johansson
Title: Scientific presentation skills: How to convey your message efficiently
About the seminar and the speaker
In this presentation, I will cover two main aspects of scientific presentations, namely i) how to structure contents and ii) stage presentation techniques. I will build on my own experiences from presenting research the last 25 years in different contexts, e.g. conference talks and seminars, as well as from my experience as a stage performer of opera theatre. With respect to stage presentation, I will discuss voice, posture, pacing and techniques for giving yourself credibility and presenting yourself in the best possible way. I will also discuss how to deal with nervousness and stress. I will give examples of exercises for how you can practice on your own and with others.
