In its own words   THNKR gives you extraordinary access to the people, stories, ideas that will change your mind. Among these extraordinary people and ideas,  public speaking through their Podium section.  The basic techniques and best practices of public speaking shown here extend to scientific presentations. This video on basic tips is a good place to get started. Enjoy!

It's been a while since I posted a talk by Presentation Guru. Dr. Doumont talks about scientific presentations. You should watch this. He's also the author of Trees, maps, and theorems: Effective Communication for rational minds. I haven't read it, but I sure will.

Once again a presentation Guru from TED! Though I start to have mixed feelings about TED, I have to admit there are great presenters. Julian Treasure is one of them. His job description is exotic, he is a Sound Consultant. Enjoy watching!

Last week I showed you an example of using photographs as visuals. Actually the last couple of posts have been heavy on my own examples. Let's change that by introducing a real guru on scientific presentations. Meet physicists Richard Feynman. Feynman was a great presenter who didn't live to meet the PowerPoint generation. I was able to find this on YouTube.  Enjoy!
