5. Key tips for effective presentations
Have a strong structure
Sell benefits, not features
Keep text and jargon to a minimum
Practice your handovers
Don’t read from a script or over-rehearse
Add impact with a strong visual style
Science is very technical – get lost in the detail and your audience will get bored
Make sure you tell a story
Lead your audience by introducing what you’re going to talk about and summarising.

6. Developing a strong visual style
Thoughtful use of colour, font and layout.
Visual continuity throughout the presentation/pitch.
Imagery > text.
Careful use of animation.
Never use Comic Sans MS!
