Designing Science Presentations: A Visual Guide to Figures, Papers, Slides, Posters, and More

Designing Science Presentations guides scientists of any discipline in the design of compelling science communication. Most scientists never receive formal training in the design, delivery, and evaluation of scientific communication, yet these skills are essential for publishing in high-quality journals, soliciting funding, attracting lab personnel, and advancing a career. This clear, readable volume will fill that gap and provide visually intensive guidance at every step-from the construction of original figures to the presentation and delivery of those figures in papers, slideshows, posters, and websites. It provides pragmatic advice on the preparation and delivery of exceptional scientific presentations; demonstrates hundreds of visually striking presentation techniques, giving readers inspiration for creating their own; and is structured so that readers can easily find answers to particular questions. Features clear headings for each section indicating its message, highlighted with graphic illustrationsProvides clear and concise explanations of design principles traditionally taught in design or visualization coursesIncludes examples of high-quality figures, page layouts, slides, posters, and webpages to aid readers' own presentationsNumerous before and after examples to illustrate the contrast between poor and outstanding presentations INDICE: Part 1: Designing Exceptional Science Presentations 1.
