The craft of scientific presentations-Springer,Michael Alley-Rather than present a list of simplistic rules, this book examines the styles of successful scientific presenters.
Included as models are Ludwig Boltzmann, Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, Rita Levi-Montalcini, and Linus Pauling. In addition, the book presents the experiences of other scientific presenters, such as Heinrich Hertz, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Chien-Shiung Wu, whose initial presentations were weak, but who became strong presenters later in their careers. Moreover, the book looks at a third category of presenters, who because of obstacles never gave great presentations, but did rise above those obstacles to make successful presentations. Heading this category is Marie Curie, who overcame stage fright, hostile audiences, and her husband’s tragic death, to communicate her work.
In addition to examining successes, this book considers what causes so many scientific presentations to flounder. To this end, this book considers ten critical errors that undermine scientific presentations at conferences, lectures, and business meetings. Some errors such as a speaker losing composure (Error 10) are weaknesses that everyone recognizes as errors. Other errors, such as displaying slides that no one remembers (Error 6), are such common practice that many presenters mistakenly assume that no alternatives exist.
By showing you the differences between strong and weak presentations and by identifying, for you, the errors that presenters typically make, this book places you in a position to improve your own presentations. The ultimate goal of this book is much higher than simply instructing you in how to present your work successfully.
This book’s goal is to give you enough insight that you can effectively critique, reflect on, and learn from your own presentations until they become outstanding.
