Abstract

Nevertheless, almost every academic can cite examples of colleagues who are well trained in professional and methodical terms and who try to get through a 30-min lecture in half the time using densely written slides, unfiltered data streams and by talking at a very high speed. Such talks are often used without any adaptations as presentations for all eventualities and for different target groups. Even the most fantastic data and results are of little use if the audience does not understand them or has switched off. They run the risk of becoming a waste of time for everyone involved. Presenters have also missed an opportunity to present their current work, promote their own reputation and expand their network. Furthermore, such talks are often followed by brief discussions with few questions. This means that there is an absence of criticism and ideas from the audience for the development of the research project. Thus, a poor presentation may in some cases obstruct the dissemination of good science.
