'Red, Sweat, Shake: Presenting Your Research' by Bronwyn Hall
 
Publishing and presenting are central to academic life. This special 
workship will show you how to take your published (or soon to be 
published) work and present it in a compelling and concise way to an 
academic audience. The workshop will cover:
 
1) The basic do's and don'ts of presenting in an academic context
2) Presenting at conferences and research seminars (How do you open a 
presentation, create a structure for your presentation and end with a 
punch?)
3) How to condense a large research paper into a 10-15 min conference / 
seminar presentation
4) How to use PowerPoint presentations effectively
5) Strategies for managing nerves and handling questions from your audience
5) Q&A to address your specific concerns
 
The workshop will be conducted by Bronwyn Hall. Bronwyn manages 'The 
Research Den', an online support service for students and is author of 
The Night Before Essay Planner: A Workbook to Plan, Research and Write 
your Next Essay (Fairfax Books). The Research Den and its partners are 
currently travelling across Australia on an Interactive Book Tour where 
Bronwyn is conducting public speaking, workshops and media interviews 
weekly. Bronwyn has a Speech Craft qualification from Toastmasters 
International and will share the tricks of the trade with workshop 
participants. She is also a research assistant in public health at the 
University of Sydney and has presented her research at numerous 
conferences and seminars.
