I have a presentation in my bio lab on a journal arctile, how do i organize it in powerpoint?

Answer 1

This is a great question, because many people , as I"ve seen don't learn this until graduate school.

When you start your presentation you should give some background to the problem, and why it is important to study. For instance, if you are studying the communication between cells give some background of how this may apply to humans. Perhaps using your textbooks, some additional papers, or some previous papers from the author. Giving this type of history really gets the listeners interested in your topic.

Then you talk about the figures, the figures are the most important part because it is a pictorial representation of the results. But I would clearly discuss everything in the figure, and make sure that anything or anything that's in the picture is clear in your discussion.

Then you should tie these slides together and discuss the importance of this specific research paper and what has been learned from it.

Also, include a slide on future possibilities if the author details this.

If you have any further questions, or want to see a sample , please feel free to message me and I will send you a copy of a presentation I have done recently.

PS. You don't want many words on the slides, this distracts people from what you are speaking. So when you present the figures, you want to present the figure and that's it, your words should be more than enough to describe the figures.

Good luck and hope this helps!
