Presenting technical information to an audience is one of the hardest tasks any scientist can face, and presenting effectively is not a natural talent for most people. Indeed, many technical presentations utterly fail in their primary objective — to convey a complex idea or argument clearly and convincingly.

On 30 and 31 March, The SIB organizes two classes which explain — and demonstrate — the key techniques that combine to produce an effective and enjoyable technical presentation. All participants, from master or PhD students to lab heads will benefit from the techniques presented in these two courses.

These two classes are taught by Damian Conway, a well-known speaker trainer (see his Wikipédia biography at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damian_Conway ). The first workshop has already been organized four times at SIB, and the feedback from the participants is consistently the best we received for any SIB course.

A detailed description of the classes is available from http://www.isb-sib.ch/edu/Registration/SIB_DC_courses.php
