@Mairenibheith (13/03/13 19:53:28) - In my presentation, I always refer to previous key presentations in conference to link with conference themes so far #phdchat (original tweet)

@debbiefuco (13/03/13 19:53:58) - @IExpand @LUDissertation Include a QR code to your display, if you are doing a poster, and to the firs/last slide of presentation. #phdchat (original tweet)

@IExpand (13/03/13 19:53:58) - @Paully232000 @LUDissertation Handouts are good. Youre right, shouldnt be too crowded. Some photos/ graphics are good #phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (13/03/13 19:58:21) - @LUDissertation @IExpand i was going to have refs and abstract on the handout, not the poster. Is that ok? #phdchat (original tweet)

@csf0961 (13/03/13 19:59:10) - #phdchat QR code generator http://t.co/TNb0vvKIM3 and its free (original tweet)

@LUDissertation (13/03/13 19:59:23) - @debbiefuco Thanks for sharing, looks very interesting! How do you find the time? #phdchat (original tweet)

@LUDissertation (13/03/13 20:00:07) - @Paully232000 @IExpand I recommend having them on the poster, but maybe others have different opinion? #phdchat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (13/03/13 20:00:36) - Presentation tips (please) Do not overrun the time allocated. Give others some time to clarify your assertions #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (13/03/13 20:00:39) - some excellent sites on presentations i have collected here https://t.co/0THTbGDzWb #phdchat (original tweet)

@IExpand (13/03/13 20:02:31) - @LUDissertation @Paully232000 I only put key refs on poster (max 5). No abstract, but a summary of project as the intro text box #PhDchat (original tweet)

@IExpand (13/03/13 20:03:07) - @LUDissertation @Paully232000 but stuff like might be a bit discipline dependent? #phdchat (original tweet)

@debbiefuco (13/03/13 20:04:09) - @ai1sa There are many qr code generators, just pick one & download as jpeg and insert like any other image. Hope this helps! #phdchat (original tweet)

@debbiefuco (13/03/13 20:04:50) - @IExpand @Paully232000 @LUDissertation Saves trees! #phdchat (original tweet)

@IExpand (13/03/13 20:05:58) - @debbiefuco @Paully232000 @LUDissertation Problem is, most of my colleagues would never use QR code. They dont know what it is #phdchat(original tweet)

@IExpand (13/03/13 20:06:24) - @debbiefuco @Paully232000 @LUDissertation So if I want to reach out fully, Id need handouts as well #phdchat (original tweet)

@LUDissertation (13/03/13 20:06:31) - @IExpand @Paully232000 Yes, five references sounds about right. Abstract may depend if it is published in the proceedings or not. #phdchat(original tweet)

@PhDSkills (13/03/13 20:06:34) - #phdchat once saw a conference poster about six feet high with LOTS of text in small font... and made sure to keep walking. Bad strategy. (original tweet)

@ai1sa (13/03/13 20:07:24) - @debbiefuco thanks Debbie, have just done so, via http://t.co/wo7G1gA40J feeling clever today! Great tip #phdchat (original tweet)

@IExpand (13/03/13 20:07:39) - @Paully232000 @LUDissertation And run the poster by a couple of colleagues first. I find that really helpful #phdchat (original tweet)

@IExpand (13/03/13 20:08:03) - In my research group, we also practice conference presentations for each other, including experienced researchers #phdchat (original tweet)

@PhDSkills (13/03/13 20:08:37) - #phdchat Can be very effective to start poster with your conclusions/ take home messages. Attracts attention quickly to verify relevance. (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (13/03/13 20:09:36) - @PhDSkills mine is A0 size & has bullet point findings and a small overview and conclusion.Didnt want to frighten people away #phdchat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (13/03/13 20:09:50) - @IExpand Yes, especially when it eats into the one after. #phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (13/03/13 20:10:11) - @PhDSkills thats good to know thanks. I will have to alter the text around a bit #phdchat (original tweet)

@debbiefuco (13/03/13 20:10:45) - @LUDissertation Didn't start my new blog until AFTER I graduated. It would have been a distraction for me. #phdchat (original tweet)

@PhDSkills (13/03/13 20:11:08) - #phdchat Great idea to have poster on wall outside your office (if possible) for a week or two before conference and discuss with visitors (original tweet)

@shaileshak (13/03/13 20:14:46) - For presentations, we were advised to pick just one aspect of the study than trying to cover the whole research #phdchat (original tweet)

@PhDSkills (13/03/13 20:16:02) - #phdchat don't finish slide with text on thanks and questions. Say 'thank you' to end, and let chairman invite questions- that's their role (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (13/03/13 20:16:27) - @ai1sa that was one of the first things i was told when getting advice on presenting and teaching #phdchat very true (original tweet)

@debbiefuco (13/03/13 20:16:37) - @IExpand @Paully232000 @LUDissertation Yep. Like someone already said, know your audience. #phdchat (original tweet)

@ianrobsons (13/03/13 20:21:07) - I love a nice mindless task for a change. Format quotes, cut, paste. Heaven. ;) #phdchat (original tweet)

@PhDSkills (13/03/13 20:22:01) - #phdchat Anticipate likely questions. Have slides to specifically address these in reserve, and show if asked question. Looks impressive. (original tweet)

@shaileshak (13/03/13 20:23:03) - MT @PhDSkills: #PhDchat For greater impact, put acknowledgments early (slide 2) and finish with your conclusions on screen for questions (original tweet)

@shaileshak (13/03/13 20:27:26) - @LBA_OX12 Less is more; it is only a presentation :) By acknowledgments I think @PhDSkills meant references too? #phdchat (original tweet)

@Janshs (13/03/13 20:28:01) - sorry only just catching up with #phdchat and this is a *great* topic - shd presentations be part of formative assessment? (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (13/03/13 20:28:52) - @shaileshak @LBA_OX12 @PhDSkills As an audience member, I don't care about acknowledgements. But some funders require. #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (13/03/13 20:28:55) - @LBA_OX12 @shaileshak i stopped before i thanked the cat, my laptop, or my barista...truth be told they really deserved mention #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (13/03/13 20:29:59) - @PhDSkills Or Prezi. Easier to get to and makes presentation more interactive. #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (13/03/13 20:30:37) - consider what you want to get out of presenting- is it to engage? Write the book to disseminate, use the audience for engaging #phdchat (original tweet)

@LBA_OX12 (13/03/13 20:31:16) - @Comprof1 Yes, there was some discussion a few weeks ago, about acknowledgement lists growing 2 long - self defeating.... #phdchat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (13/03/13 20:31:16) - @Janshs it was part of one of my taught module EdD. I think viva is kind of a presentation (for a smaller but expert audience) #phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (13/03/13 20:32:01) - @Janshs I think that it should be part of education as a whole from BSc if not before. learn to do it over time #phdchat (original tweet)

@PhDSkills (13/03/13 20:32:01) - #phdchat acknowledgements of funding agency and crucial contributions only. Short & sweet. Mom&dad can be thanked in thesis or in person! (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (13/03/13 20:32:46) - @PhDSkills Put most import info in upper left corner. Like newspaper, that's were readers start reading columns #phdchat visuals r important (original tweet)

@Janshs (13/03/13 20:33:36) - @Paully232000 absolutely! #phdchat (original tweet)

@lindathestar (13/03/13 20:33:49) - Don't use clip art in presentations, use your own photos to make pres interesting #phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (13/03/13 20:34:32) - @Comprof1 @PhDSkills i would never have thought of that, thats excellent and so simple. thanks #phdchat (original tweet)

@PhDSkills (13/03/13 20:34:34) - #phdchat I would never have a slide with references. If ref needed, I'd give as (Smith, 2013, Journalname) in small text and no more. (original tweet)

@lindathestar (13/03/13 20:34:55) - Network enthusiastically, then follow up w email; don't be afraid to speak to your heroes #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (13/03/13 20:35:41) - @Comprof1 @PhDSkills i once read we scan pictures/posters like a big F #phdchat so boring stuff...refs dare i say...bottom right. (original tweet)

@lindathestar (13/03/13 20:37:47) - @debbiefuco @LUDissertation Good idea! Easier than typing in URL. #phdchat (original tweet)

@PhDSkills (13/03/13 20:38:20) - #phdchat Real benefit of presenting is that you get everyone's attention for a few minutes. Great platform to network (& socialise!) (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (13/03/13 20:38:21) - @shaileshak @PhDSkills It depends on how you create it. You don't have to zoom in. Can just move from info to info #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (13/03/13 20:39:35) - @PhDSkills Also, I've gotten journal articles from publisher solicitation after my presentation. #phdchat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (13/03/13 20:41:02) - @Comprof1 True and agree. I use both Prezi and PowerPoint. Prefer the later as it is to edit #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (13/03/13 20:41:10) - #phdchat. Don't get flustered w/ questions or neg comments. sift thru what's valuable and what isn't. Say when you don't know. (original tweet)

@sabji (13/03/13 20:41:54) - Writing would be so much easier with @MIAuniverse cheering me on #justsayin http://t.co/Foz1lS2nbe #phdchat #gradlife (original tweet)

@PhDSkills (13/03/13 20:45:20) - #phdchat for years, I dreaded questions after presenting. unpredictable= stress. The more you talk about your work, more predictable the qs (original tweet)

@JacqInTheBooks (13/03/13 20:46:01) - I've found practicing presentations w/out the use of PowerPoint to be valuable. Forces you to become more of a storyteller #phdchat #phdchat(original tweet)

@Comprof1 (13/03/13 20:46:07) - Most important: DON'T ASSUME there's tech available. BYO or handouts in case there are none. Even large venues in NYC may not have #phdchat(original tweet)

@lindathestar (13/03/13 20:46:23) - Sup criticised too many conf attendances but each one was great learning exp & work towards pub or chapter #phdchat (original tweet)

@PhDSkills (13/03/13 20:47:14) - #phdchat These days, I enjoy the questions most! I love the challenge of new ways of looking at my work. (original tweet)

@lindathestar (13/03/13 20:48:12) - Always rehearse presentation with timer going so you fit in the time allowed. Professional & means points all made #phdchat (original tweet)

@shaileshak (13/03/13 20:48:16) - @PhDSkills will be useful for others? Increasingly presentations are shared online & will be easy to trace references in a slide #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (13/03/13 20:49:25) - @Comprof1 good point, adds dont assume internet will work. Take presn on flashdrive & email to self or put in dropbox as well #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (13/03/13 20:50:16) - @shaileshak yes i put my presentations into my blog as a link to slideshare, and place the paper on http://t.co/xGlouXe2sM #phdchat (original tweet)

@Paully232000 (13/03/13 20:50:20) - @PhDSkills I am glad someone else said what i am thinking #phdchat I just think if i dont know answer i should say so not to to answer (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (13/03/13 20:50:49) - @PhDSkills Do you ever start with questions or have presentation w/just results and then go directly to questions? #phdchat (original tweet)

@ai1sa (13/03/13 20:51:30) - @Paully232000 @PhDSkills and reflect back to them- they often just want to grandstage...eg what would be your take on that? #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (13/03/13 20:52:38) - @ai1sa Many hotels in NY/Boston/Chicago only have projector. You need device to attach and not all devices attach. #phdchat (original tweet)

@Comprof1 (13/03/13 20:54:38) - @Comprof1 @ai1sa Or you need cord to attach. Check it out before conference #phdchat (original tweet)

@PhDSkills (13/03/13 20:54:48) - #phdchat After a question, take a few seconds to compose yourself and the answer. If you don't know, say so. But try and volunteer info. (original tweet)
