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.

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

1/ New research unveiled at #AAIC2022 has found people who had encountered discrimination & racism displayed memory & cognitive problems in later life. Results suggest past events experienced by people in ethnic minority communities can have long-lasting effects on brain health.
2/ Dr Richard Oakley, Associate Director of Research comments: 'What’s shocking about these findings is that racism & discrimination doesn’t just have an immediate impact on people from ethnic minority communities, but can also lead to long lasting effects on brain health... 
3/ '...increasing the chance of memory & thinking problems developing later in life.
