Título: How to give a good research talk

Diego Gutiérrez, Dept. Informática e Ingeniería de Sistemas, Universidad de Zaragoza

 

So you have a great paper, with the results of this awesome technique you've been working on for the last year. The conference is just around the corner, and you have exactly 20 minutes to summarize... well, everything. How are you going to pull that off? How are you going to condensate all those months of hard work in so little time? It's clearly impossible, right? Or is it? How do you deliver the right message, without boring people to death? How do you know what to tell (and how to tell it), and what to leave out? This seminar will answer those questions (and more!) and offer additional insight about how to deliver a good research talk while making sure your message doesn't get lost in the noise.
