I am often asked what the one skill is that young scientists should work on the most. My answer: your storytelling via presentations.
The better you present, the more your ideas travel, the more doors open, and the more people want to work with you.
A few tips:
Have one clear storyline that you want people to remember. Repeat it. Build your talk around it.
Your slides are there to support you, not to talk for you. Think about the best TED Talks...if a slide has more than 10–15 words, it’s a distraction.
Engage the room with confidence. Don’t hide behind the podium. Stand in front of your audience, make eye contact, and own the stage.
A strong talk is a multiplier for everything you do. It helps you get published, win grants, and get hired.
What is your single best tip for a memorable scientific presentation?

These situations are so frustrating!!! A legitimate multi-year study with substantial funding for a project looking at recovering hearing loss was terminated because the PI/grant is part of an ‘increasing workforce diversity’ initiative. How is this not covert discrimination?
My lab’s 5-year NIH R01 grant, awarded to study gene therapy for hearing loss, was abruptly terminated. I want to share how this action has been incredibly harmful and disruptive, not just to my lab, but to the scientific process itself. 1/15

So we’re essentially cutting funding for research and medicines that could help in a relatively short term to those in need for the potential for longer survival primarily benefiting the elite? @elonmusk
It appears that US Space Force isn't taking a DOGE like cut as the other agencies are. On Friday it announced three big contracts. The biggest: $6 billion to Elon Musk's SpaceX
