Imagine you are a scientist faced with presenting your research clearly and concisely. Where would you go for help? This book provides the answer. It shows how to use story structure to craft clear, credible presentations. In it you will find exercises to help you give both short and long presentations.

Separate chapters address good poster design, how to tailor your talk to an audience, and presentation skills.

This book teaches you to tell moving, memorable stories about your research.

With light-hearted illustrations by Jon Wagner, Presenting Science Concisely will appeal to researchers and graduate students in all areas of science, and other disciplines too.
