{"product_id":"9789814338486","title":"When the Scientist Presents: An Audio and Video Guide to Science Talks","description":"\u003cp\u003eCheck out the author's website at www.scientific-presentations.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book looks at the presenting scientist from a novel angle: the presenter-host. When scientists give a talk, the audience (“guests”) expects the title of the talk to determine presentation content, they require understandable slides, and they demand visible and audible scientific authority. To each expectation corresponds a set of skills: personal (voice, host qualities, time control), technical (presentation tools and slide design), and scientific (Q\u0026amp;A, slide content).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author takes an original human factor view of the presentation delivery, in which the audience is easily distracted, rapidly forgetful, and increasingly impatient. Thus, insightful pointers are given on how to deliver the talk, how to craft the slides, and how to prevent the computer from rendering the presenting host-scientist into a “ghost”. In addition, the book goes in-depth over the treatment of questions by examining the motives and style of the questioners, and advising on how best to answer to each type of questioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book comes with a DVD for audio and video examples, and includes essential PowerPoint and Keynote techniques that a presenter cannot live without.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eContent Selection:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper and Oral Presentation: The Difference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContent Filtering Criteria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAudience Expectations:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Audience Expectations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScientific Audience Expectations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Slides:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive Slide Types, Five Roles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Presenter:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Master of Tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScientist and Perfect Host\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Grabbing Voice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Answerable Scientist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Students, graduates, postgraduates, and professionals seeking help in improving their scientific presentation skills.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185282924784,"sku":"9789814338486","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814338486_p0.jpg?v=1763691069","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814338486","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
