What is Research? Three criteria for research of any kind
1. It is made public2. It is subject to critical review and
examination by members of the community3. the work is built upon, used, and modified
by others
Communication is at the heart of the scientific enterprise!

Know your Audience!
Most important thing to remember
Each talk should be written with a specific audience in mind
Elementary is ok People like to feel smart People come to actually learn something
… Gasp!

The Montillation of Traxoline It is very important that you learn
about traxoline. Traxoline is a new form of zionter. It is montilled in Ceristanna. The Ceristannians gristerlate large amounts of fevon and then brachter it to quasel traxoline. Traxoline may well be one of our most lukized snezlaus in the future because of our zionter lescelidge.

A Ph.D.?
You all know what the following acronyms stand for:
B.S. M.S. Ph.D.
Talking over the heads of an audience doesn’t make you look smart!

Conference Presentations:Contributed Talks
Contributed talks may be only 8-12 minutes in length Important to stay within your time!
What can you say in 8-12 minutes? Give an overview of what you did and why its
important Give a introduction placing the work in
context Tell people what YOU did Going to be more technical
![Page 10: How to give the right talk the right way](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816664550346895dd9f5cf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Conference Presentations:Invited Talks
Invited talks tend to be longer and of more general interest Think 25-40 minutes in length
This type of talk needs to be accessible to a WIDE audience Give a more detailed overview of the
field Keep the discussion more general Audience is likely interested but non-
specialist

General Audience Talks The hardest of all talks to write
Can’t assume a lot of background knowledge
Use the parent test: If I explain it this way, would my mom or dad
understand? Also great for your thesis!
But these are a wonderful opportunity to promote science This is our responsibility!

Seek outside advice
Ask for faculty mentors, other graduate students, or friends to listen to your talk
Ask them if they understood it
Ask for feedback and advice
This can save your butt!
