Long Talks & Dissertations

Keep your audience engaged throughout a longer research presentation.

This webinar will help you build a clear and engaging story for longer talks, such as dissertations, defenses, and job talks. You will learn how to connect your data to the bigger picture, highlight your skills and contributions, and use consistent visuals to help your audience follow and remember your story.

We will also explore practical techniques for delivering longer talks and keeping your audience engaged from beginning to end. The session will consider how to communicate your knowledge, pride, and commitment to your research with confidence, humility, and grace.
