Vital Elements Garrett Apuzen-Ito Dept. of Geology & Geophysics, SOEST, University of Hawaii Being an effective speaker is important: • for anyone who has an opinion and cares if others to understand it & agree with it it. . • for anyone whose work needs to communicated to others. In SCIENCE speaking--like publishing--is part of the process. Science is about making discoveries and telling the world about it.
Giving a Great Science Talk I. Vital Elements Garrett Apuzen-Ito Dept. of Geology & Geophysics, SOEST, University of Hawaii AND BTW. . Being an effective speaker is important: • for anyone who has an opinion and cares if others to understand it & agree with it. • for anyone whose work needs to communicated to others. In SCIENCE speaking--like publishing--is part of the process. Science is about making that was the “motivation” discoveries and telling the world about it. part of this talk.
Vitals & Key Ingredients 3 Categories: I. Vital Elements II. Mechanics of the Presentation III. Speaker Performance
Today’s Message is on the I. Vitals Elements (This is my talk outline & that was the “Introduction”)
I. Vitals Elements FIRST AND FOREMOST: Your purpose is to… Communicate, Convince, and Teach WMDs! audience walks away understanding It. Ifisyour essential that YOU know your main points, gains new appreciation for points. You should have 1 -3 main (or is convinced of) them, and remembers points noyour more them, then you’veand done job. . No matter how you do it (almost). Now here’s the main point
How Many Points Should You Make?
Generally … a “science-related” talk is organized as: I. Motivate and Introduce the Topic/Points II. Define Strategy and Concepts III. Build Evidence, Points, & Ideas IV. State Conclusions (1 -3 main points) } Tell ‘em what your gonna tell ‘em } Tell them. } Tell ‘em what you told ‘em
A more formal science research talk specifies: I. Motivate & Introduce the Scientific Questions, Problem, or Hypothesis, and Outline Your talk II. Strategy, Methods &/or Data III. Results and Interpretations IV. Conclusions } Tell ‘em what your gonna tell ‘em } Tell them. } Tell ‘em what you told ‘em
This is the same format as a scientific paper
This is the same format as a scientific paper (This is my data)
This format follows from and communicates the Scientific Method: I. Motivate, Introduce Scientce Questions, Problem, or Hypothesis & Outline Talk } II. Strategy/Methods/Data III. Results/Interpretations IV. Conclusions
This format represents a system of logical reasoning. An underlying thread along which your story progresses. I. Motivate & Introduce Science Questions, Problem, or Hypothesis & Outline Talk } II. Strategy/Methods/Data III. Results/Interpretations IV. Conclusions
I. Motivate & Introduce the Question, Problem, or Hypothesis, & Outline Your Talk (Communicate) 1 st Your audience needs to know WHY your talk is work listening to. “Tides are important because…” 2 nd Your audience needs to know precisely what question, problem, or hypothesis your addressing 3 rd Outline your talk. i. e. , tell you’re audience what your going to tell them. “The problem I’d like to address is…”
I. Motivate & Introduce the Question, Problem, Hypothesis & Outline II. Strategy, Methods &/or Data This is when the strategy is defined. The type of data and method of analysis is presented. The strategy had better be appropriate for addressing your question/problem/hypothesis “I will measure the level of high tide each day”
I. Motivate & Introduce the Question, Problem, or Hypothesis, & Outline. II. Data &/or Methods (aka Evidence & Information). III. Results and Interpretations (CONVINCE) Findings are presented. Graphs show trends of data or outcomes of analysis. Logic and reasoning is clearly spelled-out, and judgements are made about the significanc of the results. “Monday the tide covered the rock Tuesday it reached the tree Tomorrow…. Uhm, can you swim? ”
I. Motivate & Introduce the Question, Problem, or Hypothesis, & Outline II. Data &/or Methods (aka Evidence & Information). III. Results and Interpretations IV. Conclusions (TEACH) Recap and clearly state your 1 -3 points. “Got it? ? ”
This structure and theme you establish Transforms a random bunch of (albeit jewels of) information I. Motivate & Introduce the Science Questions, Problem, or Hypothesis, & Outline Talk into a organized work of art. II. Strategy/Methods/Data III. Results/Interpretations IV. Conclusions They are thread that ties all the pieces together
Tell a Story. Take your Audience on an Adventure • Take your audience from a starting point (point A), • lead them step-by-step • along your journey of discovery to your conclusions (point B) I. Motivate & Introduce the B Science Questions, Problem, or Hypothesis, & Outline Talk II. Strategy/Methods/Data III. Results/Interpretations IV. Conclusions A
Tell a Story. Take your Audience on an Adventure • Take your audience from a starting point (point A), • lead them step-by-step • along your journey of discovery to your conclusions (point B) I. Motivate, Introduce, B Outline II. Strategy & Concepts III. Evidence/Points/Ideas IV. Your conclusions A
Giving a Great Science Talk I. Vital Elements I. Your purpose is to communicate, convince, and teach If your audience walks away understanding your main points, gains new appreciation for (or is convinced of) them, and remembers them, then you’ve done your job. Now here’s the main point II. The scientific format and theme you build brings your audience on a journey of scientific deduction and discovery I. Motivate, Introduce, Outline II. Strategy/Concepts III. Evidence/Points/Ideas IV. Your Conclusions
