Introduction > Presenting Science > Structuring Your Presentation > The Main Section

The Main Section This is the juicy bit of your presentation - what everyone's come to listen to. However, you'll often be confined to a strict time slot and in order to get the 'important' bits of your work across you'll need to be selective! For example, in a ten minute presentation it may be better to focus on one of your experiments rather than trying to skim over all three. You'll often be presenting the results of an experiment, which means tables, figures and plates. Be extra vigilant of the quality of the above - tables can be difficult to decipher, figures can be distorted by the cutting and pasting process and plates can appear pixely. You should be prepared to explain the graphs and tables in details. Exercise Have a look at these Main Section slides (Slide Set 1 and Slide Set 2) - can you identify good and not-so-good points?
