SciComm FOCUS: Talk like TED - Convincing and Gripping Presentation

How to inspire experts and amateurs with short, very visual presentations on your topic

A workshop offered by the Human Resources Development

TED Talks are en vogue. Students, staff and the interested public learn about research through entertaining videos from ted.com.
At conferences, the standard for scientific presentations has been raised considerably - at the same time, the presentation should not lose any of its persuasiveness and seriousness. 
Learn the secrets and design your lectures and talks like the experts at TED conferences.
