What method of presentation?
Giving a research talk is a verbal explanation of your study to an audience who is there at the time, and allows for a larger group interaction.Presenting a poster provides written information and is more conducive to individual attention and smaller group conversations about the study.

Discussion
Were your hypotheses supported?How do your results relate to your hypotheses?Why do you think you got the results you did?
especially important if results were unexpected
Can you explain your results in terms of other studies or theories?
