The Craft of Scientific Presentations

Аннотация

Cover photographs: (Top): Richard Feynman, Nobel prize winner in physics, lecturing on quantum mechanics (courtesy of the Archives, California Institute of Technology, photo 1.10-118). In this photo, Feynman demonstrates the value of communicating with gestures. Gestures and other aspects of delivery are discussed in Chapter 5. (Bottom left): Lightning demonstration at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany (courtesy of the Deutsches Museum). In this demonstration, a lightning bolt strikes a church that is not well grounded. Because the church is not well grounded, a second stroke occurs between the church and a nearby house. Demon­ strations and other visual aids are discussed in Chapter 4. (Bottom right): Poster presentation of capstone design projects at Pennsylvania State University (courtesy of the Learning Factory, Pennsylvania State University, 2001). The design of posters is discussed in Appendix B.
