Once you become the scientist whose name others circle in the conference program, your academic career develops much easier: citations to your journal papers accumulate, collaboration opportunities mount, and research funding starts to flow. This book will show you:✓ A step-by-step system for acquiring academic presentation skills which I call the “Five-S presenting pyramid”✓ An approach for designing scientific posters that attract attention and facilitate fruitful conversations✓ Techniques for communicating your research in a way that is understood and remembered, regardless of the listener’s experience. To deliver a powerful presentation at a meeting or a conference, in a lecture, or during an interview, you don’t need talent. You need to learn certain skills. Through both good and bad examples, this book shows how to master the presenting skills every scientist should possess.
