Résumé

"The successful scientific career requires clear communication of technical results."

How many of us can say that our presenting skills are truly polished? Do we really engage, enthuse and inspire our audiences? For the scientist in today's research culture - presenting well is a vital part of getting your work noticed. Too often, exciting results at the bench are let down by average presentation skills.

This book can make a real difference.

Scientists Must Speak has been carefully written - and refined through feedback from many scientists - to make a marked improvement to your technical presentations. It covers:

Targeting your talk
Body language and gesturing
Organising your presentation
Handling question-and-answer sessions
Using visual aids effectively
When the unexpected happens
The importance of practice
Adapting material
Building confidence
Handling a program with several speakers
Voice and language
Advice for non-native English speakers

Whether English is your first or second language, and whatever your discipline - life sciences, physical sciences or engineering - this concise, clear and engaging volume is a must. It will make your next presentation a more enjoyable experience - for you and your audience.
