How to Give a Bad Presentation
Actually, how to give a good presentation. Scientists/Engineers are not really formally trained on public speaking/ data display, and this 6 minute video highlights four mistakes we see all the time. Help! You too can tell a good science story! … powerpoint bad good presentation public speaking science engineeering

thanks guys this was really helpfull
Guys, thank you so much for the vid! Even though I know you directed your presentation to presenters in the scientific community, believe me — the business world is equally guilty, if not more.
To paraphrase Jay Lehr, let there be stoning!

sweet vid guys good work.
should i emphasise your point about a speech being like a story. 99% of the speeches i’ve heard that involve or ultilse a story have been enjoyable and interesting.
Nice video… I hate sitting through lectures or talks prepared entirely on power-point. In some university departments, say in the social sciences for example, power-point is often looked at as being state-of-the-art… It seems like every new professor has to present his lectures on PP or he/she is a failure. I like old school professors… much more substance and less fluff!
thanks a lot..
helped
thanx for the video …. it’s useful aaaand nice
Very true. It really depends on how you’re using your presentation to. It’s a great way to show data or even put side notes on certain points you don’t have time to talk about. though, it’s so easy to just read the stuff off the slides.
Flashy graphics and animations are definitely better than text, but I take the “less is more” approach and if the content on the slides is not directly related to what you are trying to convey, better to remove. As you can see in our video, I really prefer the minimalist approach. Flashy animations tend to distract in my opinion unless you need them convey a point, like say a schmatic of a device in operation.
What I’ve really learned is that people respond better when I use flashy graphics and animation to emphasize points. Or bigger and better graphs like you guys mentioned.
