Description:
We’ve all heard lots of research talks, some good and some bad. While it helps to have good research to present, even good research can be presented badly. The ability to effectively present your research in front of an audience is a critical skill for advancing as a researcher. Good talks don’t happen by accident. There are concrete techniques for making great research presentations.
Different presenters have different personalities, and not every technique works for every presenter. We know there’s more than one way to effectively present research, so we’ve assembled four researchers from MSR Redmond to give short presentations on how they give presentations. These four have different presentation styles, and they form a kind of 'Spice Girls' group of different strengths. We hope that at least one of them appeals to your style. Each of the four will talk for about 10 minutes in this session, giving up all their best secrets on how they prepare for and present research talks.
