Here's how you can present research findings to a wider audience at conferences or symposiums as an intern.

Coming from a simulation background, it is not easy to explain every detail in few minutes. Make sure you describe your journey till final results highlighting key steps. With a clear narrative of objective, talking about "failures" actually helps the audience to connect. Clarity in speech & technical aspect is important to handle questions.

It doesn't matter whether you are an intern or an experienced researcher. There is need to present the findings in the most understandable ways for your audience by considering the following: 1) As an intern, you ought to consult with experienced researchers in your organization on the best practices for presenting your data. 2) The old adage says, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Be as simple as possible for the data to relate to your audience. 3) Utilize visualization software like PowerBI, Tableau, Infographics etc for quantitative data, Social Network Analysis (SNA), and ATLAS.ti, SketchWow, etc for qualitative data. 3) Animate your data into a story, to make it memorable, stories enhance recall. etc

Its always good to frame your work in the form of a story and present your methodology and results as an interesting event. Just be sure to justify your methodology and results by correlating/contrasting with an existing knowledge stack; that will be your discussion part. You should make a storyline and animations that can comprehensively explain your process and outcomes.

I think when you know your audiences you can analyse thoughts of them because they know to come for finding out new techniques in special research by you and your knowledge.

Tailor your presentation to the knowledge level of your audience. Identify the key points you want to convey. Focus on the significance of your findings, the methodology, results, and implications. Use slides, posters, or handouts to support your presentation. Ensure they are clear, concise, and visually appealing. Rehearse your presentation multiple times. Practice in front of a mirror, record yourself, or present to peers for feedback. During the presentation, speak clearly and confidently. Maintain eye contact and interact with the audience to hold their attention.

Any Individual research work is complete story known only by that individual, so its very necessary to consider audience knowledge about the topic also present it like a story in a flow...since childhood every human likes to listen stories and our brain is trained since we were child so always present in a way of story or flow like story. It will reach every one undoubtedly.??

In crafting your research story, emphasize the context and significance of your work to draw in your audience. Begin by highlighting the problem that prompted your research, providing necessary background information to set the stage. Detail the methods you used in a logical sequence, explaining why each step was essential. Present your results in a compelling way, using visual aids to enhance understanding and retention. Conclude by discussing the implications of your findings and potential future directions. This narrative approach not only clarifies your research but also connects emotionally with your audience, making your work more memorable and impactful.

As an intern epidemiologist, I would present research findings to a wider audience at conferences or symposiums by creating visually engaging and concise presentations using graphs, tables, and infographics. I would focus on highlighting key results, explaining their significance in simple language, and encouraging audience interaction through Q&A sessions to enhance understanding and engagement. Additionally, I would leverage social media platforms to share highlights and key takeaways, reaching a broader audience beyond the conference or symposium attendees.

The first thing to notice is your audience and knowing how to convey message to them in a good and friendly manner so that they keep listening otherwise you will be speaking to yourself Secondary is how to narrate your findings and making sure that the problem is well communicated and methodologies you will use to address the problem as well as the result you got that will change the situation.

One great framework to help you structure your message into a comprehensive story, that is adapted to the specific audience of the conference is BLUF — standing for bottomline upfront. Start with the key message and then explain how you got there (context, objectives, obstacles, results). Another way of thinking about it is the following simple structure: "tell them what you're going to tell them", "tell them", "then tell them what you told them". Always be clear on the key thing you want your audience to remember and then craft your story around that.

Delivery is the most important part of presenting a research; it is taking to people your own insights and findings. Three important elements that should be included: clarity of argument, ease of expression and thematically dividing your findings. Make sure your presentation is coherent and your arguments flow. It is very similar to telling a story to your audience about your research in a very simple way (but not oversimplified/reductionist)

Presenting at a conference is a great opportunity as an intern since it provides exposure to the relevant audience and can help gain recognition. You can follow a few more steps. -You should have a story to tell. To tell the story effectively, you need to have a better understanding of your research and what you found. -You can create a presentation highlighting key points; don't fill the slides with too many words. You can use visuals such as infographics and charts to effectively showcase your findings. Always be clear and concise. -It is important to make eye contact with the audience and use voice modulation to keep them engaged. You can practice this before the presentation; practicing would help you build your confidence.

Clarity is key: Keep your main message focused and straightforward. Avoid straying from your core topic to maintain the audience's attention. Use relatable examples: Enhance understanding by incorporating real-world scenarios that relate directly to your audience's experiences. Incorporate inspiration: Begin with a motivational quote and a brief story about why you started this research to connect emotionally and intellectually with your audience. Visual appeal: Use visually attractive images, diagrams are relevant to your content to make your presentation more engaging and to help illustrate complex ideas. Dynamic delivery: Maintain a loud and energetic tone throughout your presentation to keep the audience involved and interested.

Practice! Practice and more practice! This is something I swear by in all my preparations for presentations. Your delivery of the presentation determines a whole lot and I dare say it may be more important than the content of the presentation. Hence, go over the presentation. Have a friend listen and make corrections or record yourself and listen later to pick out errors and adjust as appropriate.

Rehearsing multiple times helps manage time, refine delivery, and build confidence, reducing anxiety and improving performance.

Instead of using jargon, incorporate?visual metaphors. For complex ideas, use images that symbolize your point. Use contrasting colors, font sizes, and styles to highlight key points.

Use visual graphics such as slides, graphs, and charts to illustrate your points and make your presentation more engaging. Keep slides uncluttered and focus on conveying information succinctly. Remember, visuals should enhance your presentation, not distract from it.

Engage with Visuals: Visual aids can greatly enhance your presentation. Use graphs, charts, and images to illustrate your points. They can help your audience understand complex data and concepts. Make sure your visuals are clear, simple, and directly relevant to your content. Remember, visuals are there to supplement your verbal content, not replace it.

Use clear graphs, charts, and diagrams to illustrate your data. Choose the right type of visual representation (e.g., bar charts, line graphs, pie charts) based on the nature of your findings. Label axes, provide legends, and highlight key points. Visuals can evoke emotions and make your content memorable. Include relevant images or photos that support your research. For example, if you're discussing environmental impact, show pictures of affected areas. Also, create concise infographics that summarize complex information. These can be especially helpful for conveying trends, comparisons, or step-by-step processes. If applicable, consider using short animations or videos.

Engaging with visuals has been a cornerstone of my teaching methodology over the past decade as an economics professor. The integration of visuals into my lectures has significantly enhanced the learning experience, making complex concepts more accessible and memorable for my students. Bear in mind four key aspects to successful engage your audience with powergul visuals: Clarity and Simplicity, Storytelling, Interactivity and the use of new technologies (e.g., Interactive graps, online simulations, etc).

I certainly agree on making sure you have carefully listened to the question and take a moment to allign your answer with the research. Incase of unfamiliar questions, don’t stutter your way to provide unreliable answer, rather than accept the situation and ask that you be given more time to familiarize with the question. Lost in confidence during responding to questions, might relinquish your position as the author of the research and raise doubts in your work.

A mí me funciona adelantarme a las preguntas, para eso hay que conocer la audiencia y luego incluir la respuesta esas preguntas en tu presentación. Tenemos que documentarnos y dominar bien el tema para demostrar seguridad en la presentación.

In my career as researcher in economics, I developed a technique for presentations called "BackSlides". In scientific conferences, we usually have around 15-20 minutes only to present our research - which is, of course, very short to present all the content. So, Besides the slides for my presentation, I have around 5 "Backslides" prepared for the Q&A moment. It is important for the presenter to map potential questions and prepare the answer in advance. In doing so, the main presentation focus on essential aspects and the presenter can make of Q&A moment, a moment to show the ability to anticipate questions.

When an audience member asks a question, listen carefully. Make eye contact, nod, and show that you value their input. If the question isn't clear, politely ask for clarification. Rephrase it to ensure you understand correctly. Also, don't panic if you don't know the answer immediately. Take a deep breath, maintain composure, and avoid rushing. Don't forget to thank the person for their question. Express appreciation for their interest in your research. Finally, be concise and to the point. Address the question directly without going off on tangents.

In my experience, it is important to evaluate how long it will take to answer a question. You should have a time frame of your potential answer in mind. For example, you could allocate 1-2 minutes to answer each question. The time frame could depend on the type of your presentation, the time allocated to answer all questions, the number of questions you are anticipating to receive etc. If you receive a question that is too specific, too detailed, or a question that would require to spend a long time answering, it is ok to ask the enquirer to connect later and to provide additional resources that could help answer that question. That way, the rest of your audience is engaged and the Q&A session was not devoted to just one question.

One thing I have found helpful in research using it as an experience to further improve my work. The research work allows you to make a deliberate decision to understand your target audience in Term of how to communicate more effectively through nonverbal and verbal speech. More so, the ability to study the audience's attitude toward the part of the presentation and draw a reference to improve the method shortly.

Reflect and Adapt: After your presentation, take the time to reflect. Consider the feedback and questions you received, they can provide valuable insights for improving future presentations. Remember, every presentation is a learning opportunity. Use these learnings to adapt and improve your future presentations. Always strive for continuous improvement.

By reflecting and asking for feedback, therein creates opportunities for further improvement in terms of our own research as well as the presentation style and techniques of our research findings in a way that is not only captivating but also influential to our audience.

Dejar un e-mail de contacto al publico para ampliar conocimiento o detalles de lo expuesto, también puede servir para extraer feedback sobre la propia presentación. También envías una se?al de interés en profundizar y compartir el área de conocimiento tratada.

Reflect on past presentations and seek feedback to continuously improve your communication skills. Pay attention to audience reactions and adapt your presentation style accordingly. Every presentation is an opportunity to learn and grow.

When presenting to a multidisciplinary audience, use figures as far as possible to illustrate the core findings of your research. Use short and concise messaging where necessary to illustrate the novelty and value proposition of your project.

I always believe to present any talk in any conference as two way learning process. First- Wear the personality till you become personality. 2- Rise and dress for the occasion. 3- It’s not only about the content but the way you present it matters a lot. 4- keep it crisp and small. 5- Mix the presentation with some humour, life learning lessons and add your personal story to it with real life scenarios. 6- Verbal and non verbal communication matters a lot. Let us Keep going and keep growing.

Ensure all technical equipment is functioning properly before your presentation. Arrive early to set up and test everything. Dress appropriately to make a professional impression. Bring backup copies of your presentation on a USB drive and email. Additionally, networking with other attendees can provide valuable feedback and opportunities for collaboration.

Antes de una presentación es bueno realizar una respiración profunda. Inhalar, mantener y exhalar, repetirlo aproximadamente 5 veces. Esto ayudará a que tu presentación sea segura y elocuente debido a que, los pensamientos y sensaciones pueden disminuir para realizar una excelente presentación.

A piece of advice I have given interns every summer is: By the end of your internship, when you come to present your work, you will be the expert on it. No one else will know your work as well as you do. Let this be a source of confidence for you. I have seen interns correct senior advisors during question time for their presentation - because the advisor had misunderstood something and when discussing that research the intern was the expert. You may not start your internship with much expertise. You may not feel like an expert by the end of your internship. But over your internship, you will have gained knowledge no one else has.
