The only time I needed to present this academic year! Again just like the night before my oral exam, I had to write down scripts, read some related papers, and add some finishing touches to my slides.
There were about 40 slides because I added some more that explains the basic consepts of my genetic study so that my collaborators from Engineering will also understand my talk. That was a great thing to spend time on. Totally worth it. Appreciate positive feedback from the Engineering professor!
I got to talk with one of my labmates after our the meeting was concluded. I really appreciate it that he always gives me advice and help with bioinfomatics! I got some new codes to try. I hope it will work out for me.
Positive, flexible, and cheerful attitude helps greatly when you give a presentation. You want to be your best self so that your audience will be engaged and find your talk (and the person who is delivering it) interesting. It is a comprehensive presentation of you as a communicator! Getting up 2 hours before and rehearsing my presentation gave me energy to get going smoothly.
Giving a presentation is a lot of work, and it makes me super nervous, but it is at the same time the best part of being a researcher. It is a great feeling when I get good questions and helpful insights from others. It feels like my researech is meaningful and I want to continue my effort.
