Dear reader,
A flourishing scientific career is strengthened by a sustained flow of oral presentations. And this is where most scientists may wish that, like bees, they were equipped with a social gene enabling them to dance uninhibited in front of an audience avid for new sources of ideas. Fortunately (at least so far) nobody has identified a presentation gene in our DNA. Presentation skills, even though they appear native in those who flourish, are not found in the human genome. They are learned and, in this blog, they are shared.
This blog invites you to comment on the challenges faced by the scientist who presents. It points to many resources for presenters, including books, other blogs, URLs, and it contains original videos with PowerPoint or Keynote techniques (http://www.scivee.tv/user/7043/ )and podcasts (http://scientific-presentations.com/?feed=podcast ).
