In the latest issue of C&EN, in the Newscripts section (page 40), is a beautiful tidbit about bad presentations, with a link to a great talk on bad talks - http://sholl.chbe..gatech.edu/david_sholl.html

 

If you scroll down to the bottom, there’s a YouTube video where he talks about bad talks.  It’s excellent.  I wasn’t intending to watch the entire talk (it’s 30+ minutes) but I got sucked in.  Not only is it amusing, it’s really good advice.  Because we all make presentations, his tips are important to keep in mind.

 

Cheers,

Birkett's hypothesis: "Any chemical reaction

that proceeds smoothly under normal conditions,

can proceed violently in the presence of an idiot."
