Giving talks

Some tips and tricks about giving talks:

1) Tell a story.

2) Think about what you want people to remember from your talk.

3) Don't overload your talk.

4) Be ready to be flexible with your timing.

Slide talks:

5) Try to keep the number of slides down, so you don't have to switch slides too often, as well as the amount of text on the slide. ---it is totally doable to give a 1 hour talk on less than 10 slides.
