Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"This is a well-organized, easy-to-read guide full of images and graphics for scientists in any discipline at any level of their careers. Whether you are a student who needs to present your research to your lab for the first time or a seasoned professor who has made several PowerPoint lectures, this guide provides useful examples for people to brainstorm and rethink how they want to communicate their ideas in a clear way. I have definitely been guilty of creating some of the "bad examples" (sometimes unknowingly), but the book gives many "good examples" that I hope to follow for future science presentations. Following this guide will definitely help people in the science and healthcare fields communicate their ideas to their target audiences more effectively." --© Doody’s Review Service, 2020, Lisa Lian, DMD, reviewer, expert opinion
