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

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.

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)
