Improving presentation skills

This is a very important topic to scientist. In order to be effective, a scientist must communicate their findings/ideas/etc. effectively. Generally a presentation of slides is given to an audience. Thus, it is important to have effective speaking skills and effective presentation slides.

I will be posting some links for help, tips, and general information.

This first link is a youtube video by a professor at Penn State in engineering communication. A pretty good informative and brief video.

Unfortunately, presentations and PowerPoint are synonymous these days. Kind of like how, especially in the southern US, people say Kleenex when they mean facial tissue, Band-Aid for bandage, Coke for soda, etc. Of course these tips work for any presentation and slide presenters.
