{"product_id":"9780199549085","title":"Presenting Science: A practical guide to giving a good talk","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Giving a talk' is one of the most important ways in which we communicate our research. The 'talk' covers everything from a ten-minute briefing on progress to a handful of colleagues, to a keynote address to a major international conference with more than a thousand delegates. Whatever the occasion, the aim is the same - to get the message across clearly and effectively. At the same time, presentational skills are becoming more important in all walks of life - and presenting science has particular issues. Our aim is to equip the reader with the basic skills needed to make a good presentation, and our approach is pragmatic, not dogmatic. We emphasise four points:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The goal is to communicate the science to the audience.\u003cbr\u003e- The speaker is responsible for everything that appears, and does not appear, on each slide.\u003cbr\u003e- The structure and appearance of the presentation are part of the communication process.\u003cbr\u003e- There is no standard way of doing things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiving a good talk on science is a skill that can be learnt like any other: in this book we take the reader through the process of presenting science to a wide variety of audiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026854887664,"sku":"9780199549085","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780199549085_p0.jpg?v=1763670643","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780199549085","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
