“Less than 50 percent of the public knows that it takes the Earth a year to go around the Sun.”
“Only 30 percent can define DNA, the recipe book for all life.”

International Rice Research InstituteNervousness[butterflies in the stomach]
When you are nervous, you body adjusts by changing your blood pressure and increasing your
adrenaline level. You turn red, shake or perspire……..
To compensate, try some physical actions to relax – take a deep breath.
Make sure you know the room, audience and materials. Avoid using unfamiliar equipment especially if it
needs precision motions.
Visualize yourself giving the presentation, memorize your
introduction and practice, practice, practice!
