A Talk on Giving Talks Nancy Chanover NMSU Astronomy Department Sloan REU Program Coordinator 6/7/16 Sloan FAST/REU Boot Camp 1
Why This? This is critical skill for communicating scientific results (part of the research steps we discussed yesterday) Also a HIGHLY transferrable skill! 6/7/16 Sloan FAST/REU Boot Camp 2
Know your audience! Experts? General public? Peers/classmates? Regardless, always provide CONTEXT for your talk (why interesting/relevant?) 6/7/16 Sloan FAST/REU Boot Camp 3
Content (General) Slides: not too many, not too few (~1 per minute?) Not overburdened with text (just highlights, keeps you from reading from them) Not too much pizzazz (distracting) Clear fonts and color scheme (be mindful of readability) 6/7/16 Sloan FAST/REU Boot Camp 4
Lightning Talk Also known as elevator pitch Don t need to include an outline of what you re going to say (not enough time!) Keep it simple This is harder than you might think! Tough to distill complicated science topics down to simple, concise language. Practice makes perfect! 6/7/16 Sloan FAST/REU Boot Camp 5
Delivery Speak clearly Try to avoid distracting mannerisms (I KNOW THIS IS HARD!) Rehearse beforehand to get down your timing (if possible/warranted) Be yourself!! 6/7/16 Sloan FAST/REU Boot Camp 6
