Important point I need to address. Ur prob right, @neurosutras. 😊

I def don’t want/intend to be a jerk.

I took a calculated risk with my boldness. It’s *mostly* for the trainees.

1. Bad talks are a serious problem for all attendees, but esp. for trainees. Trainees often leave conferences feeling “stupid” because they didn’t understand most talks. Why wouldn’t they? The speakers are “experts”. Turns out trainees aren’t the problem. The talks were bad.
2. Trainees see “experts” give talks and copy their techniques. Bad habits perpetuate.

I’m still surprised by the poor talks at scientific conferences, including from 99% of PIs (regardless of institution). Yes, it likely includes you. Sorry.

My goal is NOT to criticize, but to help.

If you’ve ever been to a talk you didn’t understand, it’s probably because the talk was poorly done. It’s not because you’re “stupid”.

We need better presentation training. Conferences would be much more impactful.

Conferences should include regular trainings.
I’m not the greatest presenter, but I have learned some great techniques that really help your audience.

Some of these tips are adapted from things I learned in Writing in the Sciences by @KristinSainani.

Everyone should take her course (including/esp. senior PIs)

CPEC's potential impact on Pakistan has been compared to that of the Marshall Plan by USA in post-war Europe. Analysts predict that CPEC will result in creation of upwards of 2.3 m jobs between 2015–2030, & add 2 to 2.5 % points to the country's annual economic growth.

The future of Pakistan lies in export led growth strategy, which makes development of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) vital to improve the country's capacity and to complement the export requirements.
