Introduction > Presenting Science > Structuring Your Presentation > The Introduction

The Introduction A simple, short introduction will help to put you and your work into context for your audience. You should use this as an opportunity to explain the background to your research and you could include: yourself: a brief introduction your work: background to your research and what specific aspect you've been working on. Any acronyms should be mentioned first in full then referred to subsequently as the shortened version. Bear in mind that the information in your introduction may change depending on where you're presenting - if it's an in-class presentation you probably don't need to introduce yourself, but its good professional practice to do so anyway! Exercise Have a look at these Introduction slides (Slide Set 1 and Slide Set 2) - can you identify good and not-so-good points?
