Presenting the STEM Research Project

by: Darci J. Harland

An important part of conducting research for all STEM professionals is to communicate their study results. This is generally accomplished in two different ways. The first is to write a scientific paper, in order to have the paper published in a STEM or other scientific journal. The other way is to present the research to peers face-to-face at oral presentations and oral poster presentations. This chapter focuses on preparing you for the latter. By the end of the chapter, you will be able to identify the qualities of an oral presentation, explain how visuals can both help and hinder a presentation, describe the components of a poster, and perform an oral presentation of your STEM research project.
