Resources for scienfitic presentations
2 April 2007GECCO is coming up soon and it means it is time to prepare presentation slides and posters. I was looking around for pointers for making good slides and posters and found very good ones. Many of the guidelines were for business presentations, but I also found quite a few of them for scientific presentations:
- Resources for scientific presentations: An excellent compilation of useful resources for scientific presentations by C. S. Weiler at Whitman college.
- Present, Don’t Speak by David E. Goldberg, Chapter 9 of The Entrepreneurial Engineer. [Download PPT]
- Scientifically speaking - Tips for preparing and delivering scientific talks and using visual aids [Download PDF]: The PDF is definitely worth a read.
- Advice on designing scientific posters by Colin Purrington at Swarthmore college. I found the advice of putting the poster on flickr and asking for review kind of neat. Also suggests searching for templates using Google search, and PhDposters.com.
