The most compelling research presentation I gave broke every academic convention. Most research talks follow a tired script: Intro → Methods → Results → Conclusion. But that order buries your message. After giving hundreds of talks, I’ve found that the best ones flip the script—and put the audience first. Here are 3 changes I made that had the room buzzing: 1️⃣ Start with your conclusion. Open with your core message. Now, instead of wondering WHAT you found, your audience tracks HOW you got there. This shift keeps them engaged—and mirrors how we read papers. 2️⃣ Use figures > tables. Tables are fine in manuscripts. But in presentations, they overwhelm. A clean figure tells the story faster—and sticks longer. 3️⃣ Own the room. Don’t pace it. Pick three people—left, center, right. Speak to them in turn. Stay planted. Let your ideas move, not your feet. And just as important—3 things to avoid: 1️⃣ Don’t read your slides. You’re there to connect, not recite. Use keywords, not scripts. Practice until you can speak naturally—even without presenter notes. 2️⃣ Don’t overload with text. Your slide is not a manuscript. Stick to 5–6 short phrases max. Skip the periods to avoid the urge for full sentences. 3️⃣ Don’t show giant tables or figures If you have to say “I know you can’t read this,” cut it. Trim big tables/figures or split them into 2–3 slides. You don’t need flashy animations or fancy tools. Just clarity, structure, and presence. What’s one small change you’ll make in your next research talk to better serve your audience? ----- P.S.
