I. Types of PresentationsBreakout: Getting on the program
II. Titles and AbstractsBreakout: Your reaction to titles
III. Oral Presentations: Organization
IV. Oral Presentations: Visual AidsBreakout: What works and what doesn’t
V. Oral Presentations: Preparation and Delivery
VI. Poster PresentationsBreakout: Poster judging
Oral Presentations
• Professional Meetings– Contributed Papers– Invited Papers
• Symposia• Keynote addresses
• Seminars
• Workshops
• Extension Presentations
Types of Professional Meetings
• Local Meetings• eg. Oklahoma Academy of Science
• Regional Meetings• eg. Southwestern Branch of ESA
• National Meetings• eg. National ESA Meeting
• Special Topic Meetings• eg. Keystone Symposia
• International Congresses• eg. International Congress of Entomology
Breakout: Getting on the Program
• What are the approaches and procedures used to get your presentation scheduled at a professional meeting?
I. Types of PresentationsBreakout: Getting on the program
II. Titles and AbstractsBreakout: Your reaction to titles
III. Oral Presentations: Organization
IV. Oral Presentations: Visual AidsBreakout: What works and what doesn’t
V. Oral Presentations: Preparation and Delivery
VI. Poster PresentationsBreakout: Poster judging
II. Titles and Abstracts
• Title selection: consider the type of presentation and the (desired) audience:
• Contributed research paper• Invited symposium talk• Seminar• Keynote address
The Contributed Research Paper
– Nature of talk• New research results• Short (10-15 minute)• Hope to attract other scientists working in your
research area• Title should be businesslike and information-
rich
– Consider the following….
Squash Bug Transmission of the Plant Pathogen, Serratia marcescens
The Role of
Bacterial Surface Adhesins
The Invited Symposium or Seminar
– Nature of talk• General; review of past and present research• Longer (25-50 minutes)• You hope to pique the curiosity of a more
general audience• Title can be more general, informal and
creative
– Consider the following…
Squash Bug Transmission of the Plant Pathogen, Serratia marcescens
The Role of
Bacterial Surface Adhesins
Bacteria on the Wing Bacteria on the Wing

Bacteria on the Loose!Bacteria on the Loose!
Can Your Watermelon Hurt You?Can Your Watermelon Hurt You?
– What is the function of the abstract?• For placement within a meeting session• To attract your audience• To serve as a record of the information presented
– Is the abstract published?• If yes, should be a “mini-version” of presentation
– Include all major paper sections– Include only data about which you are certain
• If no, minor generalizations may be permissible
The Abstract
– Checklist of tips (Agron. J. 78:720. 1986)
– Abstract sections:» Title» Byline» Rationale» Objectives» Methods» Results» Conclusions
The Abstract
Breakout: Reactions to Titles
• What type of title catches your interest?
• Are there things in a title that turn you off?

II. Titles and AbstractsBreakout: Your reaction to titles
III. Oral Presentations: Organization
IV. Oral Presentations: Visual AidsBreakout: What works and what doesn’t
V. Oral Presentations: Preparation and Delivery
VI. Poster PresentationsBreakout: Poster judging
III. Organizing the Talk
• Again, consider the nature of the talk
• Contributed research paper• Invited symposium talk• Seminar• Keynote address
The Contributed Paper(12-15 minutes)
• This talk is over quickly!
• Message is very focused and clear
• Presentation is honed to a fine degree
• Talk is rehearsed to fit time allowed
Introduction 2 min

The Intermediate-Length Talk (20-25 minutes)
• The extra 10 min allows greater development of your subject
• Additional background information may be used
• More interpretation/ discussion is possible

• Overhead Transparencies
• Chalk/Dry Erase boards
Slide Design
• Keep it simple
• Cover one topic per slide
• Use pictures to generate interest
• Use simple graphs vs. complex tables
Lettering
• Use the largest font possible
• Use a single, legible font
• Do not use all capital letters
• Use boldface lettering
• Choose font colors that compliment background

Breakout: What works?
• Can font be distracting?
• What are your favorite and least desirable color and background combinations for slides?
I. Types of PresentationsBreakout: Getting on the program
II. Titles and AbstractsBreakout: Your reaction to titles
III. Oral Presentations: Organization
IV. Oral Presentations: Visual AidsBreakout: What works and what doesn’t
V. Oral Presentations: Preparation and Delivery
VI. Poster Presentations:Breakout: Poster judging
a. Practice!
i. Avoid reading or memorizing your talk, except…
ii. Memorize the STARTING and ENDING statements (but they shouldn’t sound memorized)
iii. Prepare slides and practice several days in advance; this will build confidence
V. Preparation and Delivery
V. Preparation and Delivery
a. Practice! (cont’d)
iv. Know your slides and what point(s) you want to make with each
v. Make a paper copy of your slides for pre-talk review
vi. Time the talk through 2-3 rehearsals; do you normally speed up or slow down during the “real” presentation?
b. Delivery tips
i. Confirm equipment compatibility before leaving home
ii. Provide e-file to the session moderator in advance, if possible
iii. Arrive early to check out the room layout, podium and lights, laser pointer, microphone, and screen position
V. Preparation and Delivery
b. Delivery tips (cont’d)
iv. Use your slides as prompts to remind you what you want to say
v. Use your pointer to keep the audience focused, don’t wave it around
vi. Glance occasionally at slides but move your eyes around the room, making eye contact with audience
V. Preparation and Delivery
V. Preparation and Delivery
b. Delivery tips (cont’d)
vii. Quell nervous habits (“um”, tapping or wringing pens or pointers, looking at the slides instead of the audience, etc)
viii.Dealings with distractions should be as low-key as possible
c. Making an impression
i. Your dress and grooming send messages to your audience about your respect for them. Gauge the dress level of your typical audience member and try to dress one or two steps more “professionally.”
ii. Humor can be very effective and make the speaker seem more human – or a disaster if audience members are offended. Use it carefully and if in doubt, skip it.

VI. Poster Presentations:Breakout: Poster judging
VI. Posters
• Not a manuscript
• Keep text to a minimum
• Use diagrams and graphs
• Use photographs to attract attention
• Poster must be able to stand alone
Poster Design
• First determine the poster size
• Choose a simple background color/pattern
• Make sure you have all sections– Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results and
Conclusions, References Cited
• Do not forget the acknowledgements
• Avoid busy backgrounds or boarders
• Use the largest practical font and figure size
Poster Presentation
• Put up poster in correct location/time slot– Bring your own supply of tacks
• Be at your poster as much as possible
• Prepare handouts/copies of poster
• Be prepared to provide additional details
• Take your poster down on time
Breakout: Poster Judging
• Review the posters on display and determine the positive and negative aspects of each.
