Purpose - What do you want from the audience or what

does the audience need from you?

Audience - How much knowledge do they have? Logistics - time, audience size, room size Equipment - projector, screen, flip chart Set up - Arrive early! Ensure the room is ready (chairs

and tables arranged, presentation materials, name tags, audiovisual equipment).

Summary
These are just a few of the characteristics. However the most significant.
Thorough self analysis

Improved speaking ability THUS a better way of presenting!!!

Dedicated effort

What do you want from a talk?

Before planning your talk think about its purpose, the audience you will be talking to, and the setting. Dont assume the audience will all be experts. Never underestimate your audience! Check on the time that has been allotted to you. How big is the room?

What do you think of the following slide?

Emk1 knockdown inhibits lumen formation in MDCK cells: -RT-PCR: EMK1 is effectively knocked down in MDCK cells 24 hours after transfection with P-SUPER (control) or P-SUPER-siEMK1 plasmid; knockdown confirmed on the right with antibodies to EMK1. - Collagen overlay assay: cells cultured 24 h on collagen I before being overlaid with additional collagen on the apical surface, analyzed 24 h later. Note the lack of lumen in EMK1-KO cultures. - Ca switch: control or EMK1-KO cells were plated in low Ca medium 24 h upon transfection with pSUPER or pSUPER-KO. After 12 h, cultures were switched to normal medium for 24 h. Transmission EM of cells sectioned perpendicular to the substratum shows lack of microvilli in EMK1-KO cells.

Of course, it is far to confusing and a clear take-home message does not come across !

This presentation will take you through a strategy for presenting the data in a clear and logical way.

Powerpoint Basics: 1. What font to use

Use a Sans Serif font: This font is Arial. This font is Comic Sans. This font is Papyrus. Serif fonts take longer to read
This font is Times New Roman. This font is Courier. This font is Didot.

Powerpoint basics: 1. What font to use

Some fonts look really good in boldface: Arial vs. Arial bold Comic Sans vs. Comic Sans bold Papyrus vs. Papryus bold

Type size should be 18 points or larger:

Powerpoint Basics: 1. What font to use

AVOID USING ALL CAPITAL LETTERS BECAUSE ITS REALLY HARD TO READ!

Page  32

Powerpoint basics: 2. Color

Dark letters against a light background work.

Page  33

Powerpoint basics: 2. Color

Light letters against a dark background also work.

Page  34

Powerpoint basics: 2. Color

Many experts feel that a dark blue or black background works best for talks in a large room.

Page  35

Powerpoint basics: 2. Color

Dark letters against a light background are best for smaller rooms and for teaching.

Page  36

Powerpoint basics: 2. Color

Avoid red-green combinations because a significant fraction of the human population is red-green colorblind.

Page  37

Powerpoint basics: 2. Color

Other color combinations can be equally bad:

Page  38

Powerpoint basics: 2. Color

Avoid red-green combinations because a large fraction of the human population is red-green colorblind.

Lots of people cant read this and even if they could, it makes your eyes hurt.

Page  39

Powerpoint basics:2. Color

View your slides in grayscale to ensure that there is adequate color contrast in each slide.

Page  40

Powerpoint basics:3. Layout

Keep the layout and style as consistent as possible Every slide should have a heading. Sentences are preferred if its possible to make a statement.

Page  41

Powerpoint Basics: 3. Layout

If you try to cram too much into a slide, and place things too close to the sides, they can get cut off if youre using a poor projector. In any case, the slide looks all cluttered and junky.

Page  42

Powerpoint Basics: 4. Style

Try your best to include a simple image on every slide.

Page  43

Powerpoint basics: 4. Style

Limit the number of items on each slide. Each slide should make just one or two points!

Page  44

Powerpoint basics: 4. Style

Page  45

Powerpoint Basics:4. Style

Dont try to show too many slides. Often, less is more.

It takes some work and forethought to use Powerpoint well

Lets break down the previous slide into its minimum essential components

The structure of a good talk

The structure of a good talk: start broad, get specific, and end broad

Page  55

Organizing a great talk

Be smart about Powerpoint Your introduction should start broad then get specific Think of your talk as consisting of episodes Use a home slide to make transitions effectively Your conclusion should start specific but end broadly
Page  56

There is more to giving a good talk than showing good slides

Do face the audience and make eye contact, Do be enthusiastic and vary the tone of your voice, Dont pace up and down but also dont stand rigid! Dont wave your pointer all over the slide Dont take lots of drinks- it is distracting and unprofessional
Page  57

There is more to giving a good talk than showing good slides

Do practice beforehand, preferably using a video camera and timer Do ask your friends (and family) for feedback Dont use too many gimmicks
