Lectures and seminars PhD student seminar: Anna Johansson part II
Title: Scientific presentation skills: How to convey your message efficiently - part 2: how to structure contents and how to deliver a presentation
About the seminar and the speaker
In this presentation, I will cover two main aspects of scientific presentations, namely i) stage presentation techniques and ii) how to structure contents. 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. With respect to how to structure contents, I will give examples of how to pitch a result in an efficient way. I will also share how I prepare for a presentation and how to take the stage on the day.
