The point
You have to give a talk:
• scientific (seminar, retreat, or conference);
• interview (post-doc, job);
• other (oral exam / PhD defense, teaching,
administrative meeting, lunch / dinner).

Commonalities
You are the speaker.
You have an audience
You want to transmit an information.
You use a medium:• your voice;
• your body language;
• a black/white/active board;
• slides.

Information and meta-information
Interview talk: you want to express that
• you are well-rounded, and
• you have potential.

Why giving a good talk?
• Positively:
to do justice to your topic.
• Non-negatively:
to not waste your audience’s brain cycles.

Before the talk: what to say
Assumption: you have a message.
• A thesis.
• A refutation.
• A theorem or a corollary.
• An idea.
• A report (implementation, benchmarks).
• A tutorial.

The content of the talk
• Think backwards: what do you want people
to remember from your talk?
• Don’t say everything.
• Simplify.
Rumour: people can only remember
5 new things from a talk.

Rules of thumb
Of course rules are made to be broken,
but still: be aware of
• which message you want to send, and
• what you want your audience to remember.
Make at least one point comprehensively.

Have a compelling example
An example makes your audience
aware of your contribution.

You are too young to do that, but:

Before the talk: how to say it
Use all the help you can round up, e.g., slides.
Alternatives include:
• passive demo (film);
• interactive demo (always risky).

What is the point of a slide?
Like the light of Earendil,
it supports and guides your talk
(for those lecture halls can be so dark).

Writing slides
Non-goal: editing or writing the slides upfront.
Danger:
• atomic and linear view;
• irrelevant formatting concerns.

Active goal: the comic strip
Assemble your future slides
on a hand-drawn comic strip:
• it gives you an overview (1 to 2 pages);
• you can’t write too much on each slide;
So be telegraphic rather than literary.

Active means: the plan (1/2)
Planning is not like playing with LEGO bricks.
It reflects your understanding,
and thus it evolves with time.

Active means: the plan (1/2)
Planning is not like playing with LEGO bricks.
It reflects your understanding,
and thus it evolves with time.
You should not plan your talk
in the same chronological order
as you carried out your research.

Active means: the plan (2/2)
You probably chose
a logical plan

Choose a pedagogical plan
for the presentation
(i.e., one adapted to the audience,
the duration of the talk, etc.).

Pedagogy at work
So you will have several versions of your talk:
• one for your research group,
• one for your department, maybe,
• one for the conference, and
• one for each lab you will visit
after the conference,
for reheated dishes don’t taste that good.

An analogy
Classical musicians, by training,
and Stevie Wonder, who has an absolute ear,
always “give the same talk.”
Modern musicians (blues, rock, jazz, etc.)
virtually never “give the same talk.”
