✔️ Less text, more illustrations ✔️ Tell a compelling story ✔️ Introduce figures gradually ✔️ Underscore your main message Spurred by ADHD, andresroca gives tips on crafting compelling scientific presentations in this week's ScienceWorkingLife.
I walked into the conference room, eager to hear a presentation on the same topic as my ongoing Ph.D. project. But my enthusiasm didn’t last long. As a scientist with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder , the text-laden slides were difficult for me to process while I simultaneously tried to listen to what the presenter had to say. My mind began to wander, only to snap back to the talk when I heard the sound of clapping.
I started taking notes during presentations, and logging slide formats or delivery styles that made it easier for me to stay focused. Once I identified a potentially useful technique, I applied it during my own talks and asked for feedback from colleagues. Their positive comments reinforced to me that the techniques I found useful as an audience member helped and resonated with non-ADHD audience members as well. Here are some of those strategies.
Most people in your audience won’t have ADHD. But those who do will appreciate it if you use some or all of these tips. And I suspect others will as well. Humans love to hear compelling, easy-to-follow tales—so give your audience a story to remember.
