Formal Presentation at a Scientific Meeting

Abstract

The giving of a ten minute scientific communication is an art form peculiar to researchers who frequently fail to research the technology required for the performance. Careful selection of the scientific material to be included, the audio-visual aids to support it, and adequate rehearsal before presentation to a critical audience are vital to the success of the presentation.
