@william-distill.bsky.socialWhat do you think are the most common barriers to engagement in academic conference presentations? 80% of presenters at research conferences lose their audience within the first couple of minutes. How can we do a better job at communicating our important research? #AcademicSky #SciComm
Show PostI often find that the hardest part of making a research presentation isn't designing the slides. But it's deciding what to cut, and what deserves to survive the edit. Do you find this as well? What's the hardest part for you? #AcademicSky #PhD #Research #AcademicChatter
Show PostWhat changed: 1. The title became the finding. "Results – Primary Outcome" orientates, but tells the room nothing. 2. Seven bullets became three numbers, each with its interval. Adjusted and sensitivity analyses move to the spoken talk. 3. The graph was simplified and made to stand out.
Show PostCool research milestone unlocked today! #academia #writing #academicchatter #academicsky
Show PostRead your talk by its titles alone. If the story disappears, your titles are topics. A topic title tells the room where they are. An action title tells them what you found. Keep the signpost as an eyebrow above it. The Headline Test is free with layouts below. #AcademicSky #SciComm #PhD
