This is the preamble video, scroll down for the main event.
This video reminds us that the research presentation space is diverse. Like music, there are lots of genres, each with their own unique audience and purpose.
It's the reason these different talk type videos are needed: to create the custom framing for the rest of resources in the digital platform.
Presenting Beyond Academia
Here are the key takeaways:
When you're preparing a research talk beyond academia, prioritise:
Communicating the emotional value of your work. Tell us what the stakes are from the beginning, using specific examples. Focus on a person or group of people who could benefit from your project.
Presenting your research with clear, accessible language. Even though the audience doesn't share your expertise, they can still connect with your work if you provide straightforward, high-level explanations.
