 Okay, I think it's time to begin the webinar. Yes. Hello, welcome to this special webinar on one study for presentations, how to show research in any conference format. Well go through the four presentation types, two minute presentations, 10 minute presentations, the conference poster and display materials, and how each is used to communicate a particular study in its own unique way. We'll start with this working presentations in part one, while moving on to the more visual presentations in part two. My name is Simon Clark, I'm the European Geoscience Union's Projects Coordination Officer. I'm joining me, we have two speakers of experience in presentation design and delivery. We are from here playing at Ramos, research scientists and hydrology, I'm president of the EDU division on hydrological sciences and co-chair of the program committee for the EDU 23 General Assembly. We also have Fabio Cremori, a freelance researcher and science-related graphic designer, interested in open access and community review sharing platforms, who will be delivering the second part. There'll be time towards the end for questions. If you have any questions, please enter them in the Q&A box at the bottom of the screen. And now we'll begin the webinar further. So what is the study we'll be using today? We're using the particular study, the impact of the quality of hydrological forecasts on management and revenue of hydroelectric reservoirs, a conceptual approach. We'll be providing some general tips about the given presentation style, and I'll just keep our speakers will discuss how to take the study and transform it into something that is communicable and accessible for each of the given presentation styles. It is not so important to know the subject area or the details of the study properly as the tips given today will be applicable generally. However, if you are interested in getting to know it a little deeper, the study is available and open access on the EDU sphere publishing platform and online repository. So you need to only follow the reference provided. Moving on to our first presentation format. We have the two minute presentation, which has become increasingly popular in conferences. This is sometimes accompanied by an hour long session after where the audience can engage with a more interactive homepage accompanied by the presenter where discussion can happen in more detail. At the EDU General Assembly, for example, this happens in the form of Pico sessions. So these sessions are essentially a high impact teaser to grab your audience's attention and draw them to your interactive spot for the session later. The key points in your mind and that we'll expand upon later will be that short presentations or its own format is inappropriate to try and fit a longer presentation style into your two minute format, for example. Try to minimize your content, maximum three slides, but even one slide is ideal here to focus on one key message and use simple language as jargon can be both inaccessible and choke up your time. It also helps to help people to navigate to your interactive spot if your session includes one. And also feel free to use imagination. These two minute presentation slots often have a variable, often are flexible in terms of the content on media provide so it could be a single graphic or perhaps a key animation that really hits your message home. So with that, I'd like to move on to Maria Helena to begin her section. Thank you very much, Simon, and for this introduction. So hello everybody. And I found that it would be nice to start with what you do not want when you're presenting a Pico presentation, for instance, so keep in mind, you do not want to tell everything you have written that paper papers are long explain everything in detail so you do not have time for that. You do not want to overwhelm your audience with too much text or tables or images that are too busy. You also do not want to go through your presentation as fast as you can so finally it's over. No, no. You do not want to avoid questions you're here in the conference to get feedback. And of course, you don't want just to present and then disappear from earth. So that's finally if you get on that. So, finally, what do you want. If you proposed an abstract for a Pico session or you got a Pico presentation what do you want. Do you want to tell your audience about your work to tell them about your most important finds to get the feedback about your methods and results. Do you want your audience curious about want to know more about what you do. And of course, maybe you also want to gain your own communication skills. You probably want to basically everything like if you want everything of that after your presentation, you have to think about the things you have to do to get that. You have to tell them my story. Have to think about it. What is the story I'm going to tell from my work. You have to select some takeaways you cannot present everything. You want to feedback you have to leave time for questions this is very important. Think about that. I also wanted to make the audience curious want to know more so you have to encourage them to come to talk to you after the session to ask the questions but also to come to talk to you after the session so you have to fix the attention of the audience audience into you and your work. If you wanted to gain communication skills it's not only preparing and give the presentation you have to practice it before also, and then you also can give your own feedback to yourself whatever if that exists. You just present and then you say okay I did as I expected to do or not. Basically, you have to make sure that what you're going to prepare as a presentation will serve this purpose that you will then identify it. If you want all this, you have to make sure that what you prepare are going to respond to that. Okay, so the paper as an example that we decide to take so let's take in it. And first of all, when you start a presentation whatever it is. First of all, a question you have to ask yourself. What time do I have this timing is very very important for our presentations in particular, because when you're giving a time limit, specific time limit, you have to respect it so keep it that in mind this is very important. We are here to talk about some short presentations and longer presentations what are the difference between them what are the common features. So starting with the two minute pitch talk, like in a Pico spot as Simon explained to you. So step one, what I my tips or at least what I advise is to first picture yourself. Where will I be. And imagine also the audience. Who will they be. In the session where you were planning to present inform yourself about the format. How is it going to happen. Our questions at the end our questions in the middle. Are there any discussion time in the middle or before my presentation or at the end. So inform yourself self about the session. And then talk about who else presenting before and after you this is important also. So then you start to be to be inside your own presentation now your own session your conference so here you are this is a photo in the middle for those who haven't come to do yet. So this is a picture I think 2016 or 17 I don't know, can't remember well but it's a picture taken from a Pico spot so people sitting watching the screen and you're going to be there like this is my lead person here to give your two minutes pitch. Now, after your picture yourself will know where you are going to be. You know who is going to be listened to you or who you expect to be there to be listened to you, you have to plan your content. And you have two minutes. If you have two minutes, you can only have one to three slides maximum. As Simon mentioned, even two would be better, but you can go up to three according to how you plan it, but just keep your time limit two minutes. People usually spend 0.8 to 1.2 minutes per slide so keep that in mind these are magical figures. No more than two free messages or information that you put it on his light so don't overwhelm your audience. Create curiosity all over your talk all over your slides. So the first slide could be like for instance, an opportunity for you to make your aim very clear to highlight some key issue one key issue for instance if it's the case that you are working that is particular interest to show. Is it the model you're working with, or is it the data set. So whatever you have a key should put it there. And of course the first slide you have to show who you are and where you come from so people can identify the work with you. That's the way you can get feedback later. A second slide could be for instance you show one simple result. You provide one take away that you really grabbed the attention of the audience and then you invite the audience to come and talk to you later. You have time for that so at this moment when you're giving your two minute pitch, you have to invite them to come to get curious about your work. Then, once you have practice your come your your content you practice your speech it's very important to get a natural run the test how you pronounce your words simplify complicated words if needed. If you know some words that you have difficult to pronounce. Try to be natural. Use a conversation with style, for instance, this example from that paper we mentioned earlier. For instance that that people the paper sorry the title is impact of the quality of hydrological forecast on the management and revenue revenue of hydroelectric reservoirs in France. So it's a very good title written title but sometimes can be difficult to speak all that so that's why you have to practice also you put your name you put where you come from, and you can for instance if the title allows a red hint for your aim. So your aim is to evaluate the impact of this and that and hint for where you're going to present your study in France this way you don't need to present your study area because it's a red said that. And then you come to your, your other slides and you try to put your, the text, for instance, you take a sentence from your paper but then you see oh I have to simplify the words I cannot say the sentence as it was written. I have to put also a graphic that shows something to the audience, and so on. And at the end you put, well, let's visit my pickle for instance. You by doing that you check some things that first you have to check if the words are there if you can simplify something for instance if you can enhance it with nice graphics. The first slide for instance on your left you can see that I took out the management and the revenue because it was too worthy for a first slide. I added some photo for instance to draw attention so people immediately understand what I'm talking about reservoirs water and so on. You can also check if you can simplify further your graphics so this is a little bit bothered here but you can see that I will took some things out and I write where value is where qualities and so on. Now, this were the tips so for building your two three slide presentation so let's try to do it so I was thinking when I was preparing this, this talk thing okay I'm selling, I'm telling a lot of things but am I going to do that practice that so I'm going to try to do here two minute pitch talk, and I was cute to pay attention to what I'm doing right or what I'm doing wrong where I could improve. I'm pretty sure I'm going to make a lot of mistakes or do things very well so whatever. Think about that let's see the test now how a two minute pitch could go, for instance, taking the same example as the paper. We mentioned. I'm going to prepare myself. So, hello everybody. My name is Maria Elena Ramos you can see my co-authors, and we come from in RIA research institute in France and for me the FTF electricity company in France. The next that I'm going to present here today is about reservoirs in France so our aim is to evaluate the impact of the quality of the hydrological forecasts on the revenue of hydroelectric reservoirs in France. To carry out this study we had to establish a methodology and the overview of this methodology has four steps. First step where we define what are our inflow forecasts. So we define forecasts with and without biases. Then we are going to use that and calculate this forecast for 10 catchments that are associated to 10 reservoirs. These reservoirs are parametrized conceptually parametrized, and then you're going to use this in an optimization model. And this optimization model is also fed by the energy prices through all the years that we are evaluated. Finally, the fourth step will be linking the quality and the value of the forecasts. For us the value is the gains and losses from production. With this objective and methodology we came to some results. One of them is that forecast qualities linked to economic value in the hydropower sector. It's also that overestimation generated the highest economic losses. As you can see in this graph and on the right. So why do you come to these results? Is it applicable? Can be applied everywhere? So to know more about that please visit my PICO number 4.8. Thank you very much. I finished my test now. It was a bit, I was a bit nervous. Let's see. I don't know what did I do wrong. So we'll just do what I say or do what I do. What could be improved? I don't know. I know Simon, do you want to say some things or? Sure. Obviously you've practiced it. So that was going to be on us. I think everyone to focus on improvements for my position here as the zoom facilitator, the faces of our colleagues always in the top right corner. So it's good to be aware of, I suppose, what the online audience has been saying. So I want to be aware that there might be people in the top right corner that might mask your presentation. Otherwise, I liked it. I like the arrows and they're kind of big question mark of why what we're talking about here. Thank you. Any tips Fabio from your part? Yeah, I also like that you gave away your main points and you raised curiosity at the end by asking the question to the audience. Maybe I can comment on the last figure, which I don't think was all blind friendly. So if you improve that you can also include everyone in your audience, I guess. Well, thank you very much, Simon and Fabio for this feedback, which is very important for everybody and sometimes really don't realize that things like what Simon said. Like, okay, you be careful because online there will be people occupying this space, there will be maybe some space occupied on the top and on the bottom with subtitles for instance. So we have to be careful and attentive about that. You want people to read what is inside your slides. And of course about displays, I'm pretty sure Fabio will come back with other solutions for better displays. And now you get your questions also at the end if you have any more tips to give. So that's why a test that's what was a test in real time to tell you the truth about this two minutes pitch talk. And as you know, at EGU you have the two minute pitch talk and then you have the Pico screens for a longer and more detailed presentation. These are some examples here is one of our colleagues giving the pitch talk and then you go to a screen. It's your own screen every presenter has one and then you can explain more in details what you're gonna what you did and how and etc. So you have all this preparation that you can go back and forth the homepage and etc. So you can talk to people and sometimes can be really crowded. So you have to think about that this is your time to present your research to make your name known to get your feedback. So on to the next presentation type which is the 10 minute presentation. This is the more common conference talk that you're most likely to experience in the wild. For example, in each of you at the General Assembly this year, we have 10 minute presentations, which includes the time for both presenting and questions. So the key points to keep in mind as we go into detail is first, make sure you're telling a story that there's a key thread linking the beginning and the end of your presentation, but allows the audience to keep going back to make sure that the context to explore your work with off to keep in mind. This could be how you structure it. So, for example, any of the question and learning down to a conclusion. Other key things is member author accreditation these are scientific presentations. So if you don't use a few work you haven't offered to include accreditation. So if your text is readable that it's a large font and that you don't have any jogging, or perhaps we detailed descriptions, be aware of your time, if you're given 10 minutes. Is that inclusive or questions like in the General Assembly or not. And last, and remember that your voice is your focus that your presentation support your saying, and it shouldn't be distracting for me, either. So you later about the 10 minute presentation. Thank you so I will also give some of my tips or advice for 10 minute presentation so first of all what you see here is exactly the same as you have in the other one. Again, picture yourself where you'll I be, who will be the audience, inform yourself about the session so this is again a picture of one of the rooms we had in Vienna at the G you in 2016 or 17. Imagine where you are going to be. How is the environment of your presentation. Then plan the content. Now you have 10 minutes, but be very careful. 10 minutes is for your presentation. And for those questions those questions that you said in the beginning that you wanted to have at the end so plan that you should not occupy your 10 minutes with only your talk. You should take seven eight minutes and leave minutes for question and answers. Well, let's do the calculation again if I take between 0.8 to 1.2 minutes per slide, I would need to have six to seven slides max for a 10 minute presentation. Is it too long to short. The question is not there. The question. This is what you have and you have to do with it. So no more than two free message per slide. This is the norm. So plan your content, draw it your plan of action. How am I going to do first my title my aim my name affiliation and how to contact me maybe an email whatever. And then my motivation, my methodology, and the results. And then at the end, I put some conclusions and way forward. And again, how to contact me. One slide for motivation one slide for methodology and one to freeze out these lights for results. Do not overload the audience remember that this is also something you check it saying I don't want it to overload my audience so do not overload it. Now you can, of course, reflect about that. Fine with my work fine with my presentation. So, maybe you say no I'm not going to present three results, different results. I'm going to present two results. And I will emphasize more the methodological steps I had, I took to do this work. So I put two slides of methodology and then two slides of results for instance, you are the one who has to know to have to find the right balance according to the strongest points of your work. Is it the methodology I want to emphasize or are the results. So once you define that you have to start planning for instance this is an example I can have step one I generate a synthetic forecast, and I did this and that I put an example and some visual aspects that could interest the audience so Fabio is going to talk more about the visual stuff, but I can do step two methodology. Again, not too much text, but enough for me to know how to tell my story to link what I'm talking about through the different slides I'll have. These are purely examples for instance. You can say okay there is one slide that is really really very important the motivation slide this is the one that will help you to feel at ease, confident and relaxed because it's just the second one, your title your name your name you know, you know how to say them to plan them but your motivation how you're going to tell the audience that this is important so it will help you to feel at ease it will help your audience to see that the broader implication of your research, the importance of it. Do not neglect this slide. This is really very important. Why are you doing all this, why are you taking 10 minutes of, I don't know 3050 100 people to tell your story. For instance, a motivation is like this is a test motivation hydropower is very important for society river flow have biases, and my research question is, and then I repeat my title and whatever I would say to you. No, no, no, no, no, don't do this don't send your audience to sleep. You don't need to repeat your title try to be creative Simon mentioned that in the beginning also try to really attract the attention of your audience. For instance, you could start with the question why hydropower could benefit from good forecasts. Why are we interested in having good forecasts to manage hydropower reservoirs. You do not need to repeat your title. Tell something different. Tell something that you show this is your story. Not everybody can say the same. You are the only one who can tell your motivation to the audience. And then of course you plan you practice your speech. It's not the same as a lecture you have to practice at home. Simplify all the words if you see something you're not getting well. If it's too long to full of things. Try to simplify never do the opposite not never put more just put less. Remember that people have different background and in the audience you have experts but also those that are just there curious to know more about that topic so you have to embrace all this audience. People also rely on their power of hearing and sight so you have to take that into account they don't have a textbook they then don't go home and have everything already explained in different ways so you have to be clear to speak slow to talk clearly about your work. And you have to think about that person that is sitting in the back of the room. Are they getting the key points are they getting my message. That is going to be important. Finally of course this was for the 10 minute presentations and the two minutes presentation you also have posts presentation I would just say you also have to pick picture yourself on the poster halls. How it will be where it will be who will be there. Think of your poster as a conversation started you have to have something to attract the audience and then you start a conversation but this is for some for fabulous story. Just right now, just my last slide and messages for you to think about you're telling a story, your story, and it has to be passionate, and you have to be passionate on that you have to love it and make the audience also want to know much more about that. Thank you very much Simon. Great. Thank you. So moving on to our next speaker now. He'll be talking about the poster. I think it's got a slight teaser there. Yeah, so the next presentation will be the common conference poster. And some of the key points to keep in mind as we go forward is that firstly knows the size and the format of the poster you don't want to get to the display hall and have your poster are positioned or running over the display and start with the big key message and put it down to the final detail. This doesn't have to be the size necessary, but the key take away what it audience to leave with or at least catch that tension. Keep it simple. Don't close your poster and make use of the empty space to provide breathing room or emphasis to your poster points. Make sure it's readable, but a font size is big enough, and the colours don't clash with each other. Make sure it's accessible. So, does the audience know the jargon you use and all the graphics readable to those who are blind, for example. With that, Fabio would like to take it away. Thank you Simon. Okay. So yeah, my part is more about the visuals, when we communicate signs through visuals rather than voice and our ears. And yeah, I start with the poster as Simon just introduced. So what's an each you poster. It's an usually around a zero landscape format. You can see a picture of a poster hall at each you. You typically have lots and lots of posters, lots of people walking by. And usually the people walking by just have a little bit of time to look at your poster and decide whether they should stop their journey through this poster. Elise. It's in print your posters printed out and then put on the poster board. It's a big hall full of other posters. There are experts in your field walking by, but there are certainly also non experts walking by. And your poster will be up approximately one day. And there's a presence time of around one hour 45 minutes, which doesn't mean you have to talk. And the whole hour, talking about your poster, you should still present it in like a few minutes max. And then just repeat when new people coming by. And then the last bit will be about each you this place or supplementary material. It's a free format so you can basically upload whatever you want, whether this is still images PDFs presentations, or even movies. And it's purely digital. It's on each use fear. And so it's kind of empty of other displays it doesn't have to compete with other displays at the same time. And again, there will be experts and non experts coming by, and they will be up for a long time around two months and then maybe even permanently if you decide so. So what are the cornerstones of poster and display design from a graphical standpoint. I think it's very important that your presentations are accessible to everyone, even people with, for example, coral color vision deficiencies. They should be effective. Sorry for the lost efforts there. In terms of your work time so to create it should be kind of easy to do and quickly to do so we don't waste too much research time. And also be effective in terms of what you want to achieve it. So they should communicate flawlessly and efficiently. So the key messages for my part really are know that people understand not what you present what, but what they perceive so put yourself into the people coming at your poster and looking at it. And then also you need to know that we do not all perceive the same way. So we can't all see the same colors, for example, or we don't have the same background knowledge, then you might have. And then always the surrounding effects also your message so think about where your presentation is as Helen already pointed out this is kind of key here. And then I will use the example of the research introduced before, which is this one here about hydrological forecast. And I came up with a kind of fake poster example that I made myself so I don't look at it too closely might not make too much sense. This is a common poster I often see when I walk through these big allies of poster boards at each year. And that first sighting might look like a sensible poster but I will show you how to do it better. And so this is the version I think would work much better in different aspects and I will go through these. So my whole presentation will first cover a few general graphic communication aspects then go also into what you can do with texts and how you should do it to improve your presentation. And then again have the two parts, the posters and the displays, some specific tips on these. So first up is the graphic communication tool. So, when you look at this text graphic communication, it appears to you probably as if it has two different colors or as if it was written in with a gradient of color. But it is actually the same kind of green bluish green bluish color for the text, just the background this gradient in the background makes it look like there was a gradient on it as well. So remember the background changes what you present as well. Also if you look long enough on this slide and then I changed to the next one. It looks as this slide also have as a gradient in the background, which is kind of cause your eyes got used to something and now pretend to see something else so you can't always fully trust your eyes. And that brings me to prevent pitfalls. You have to know that there's no one right way to do a good poster or a good figure. But you can avoid some of these crucial pitfalls. So here's a list of a few of these pitfalls which I could come up with. And a few that are just here to avoid. So, for example, unreadable annotations or put too many things onto your poster, but then there are a few that are really critical so if you get them wrong, your poster kind of fails to communicate your message. And this could be if it's inaccessible to to non perceptional uniform color maps, if you use full scales, etc. Just to highlight a few examples color, one of my favorite topics. I mentioned before not all see color the way you do. So if you go to this kind of standard poster design that I made this graphic here is not color vision deficiency friendly so at first sight it looks okay to everyone who can see all these colors. But then you have to realize that the color in this figure is an information carrier so it connects the data legend. So what they did is to the actual graph shows if you can't connect these colors to your graphic fails and viewer has no idea what you talk about. So if you convert these to black and white just desaturated you can easily test it for color vision deficiency friendliness. And that's what I did in the back. So you see here in this case. These lines are not distinguishable anymore. And you can just improve that by adding a lightness change for all the different colors. So we have dark red and light blue and so on and then they remain visible to everyone who can see and even in black and white. The same applies to maps. This first side also looks like a good graphic green to read but then again to make the test desaturated you can see that it's not possible and more to distinguish the individual values. So you can use just a scientific accessible color map that goes from light, light green in this case to dark red. And you can see in the past you can easily still recognize the different values on the map itself. And on top of it, I think the original image becomes much more intuitive also as it goes from low values to high values from light colors to dark colors. There's a lot of useful resources online. So I provide color vision deficiency friendly color palettes, which you can see find on my webpage for free. And then there's tons of blog posts online. I really like the ones by Lisa's shout out booth and the link is given here. Then another graphic element that we use a lot of presentations like posters and displays typefaces. Remember, all the typefaces have voices and for titles and for posters where we have just short text. We tend to use sans serif font and for long texts that would be more in a in a publication, but the paragraph is long and needs to be read through, then we would use serif typefaces. And examples are alphaitica, arial, open suns and fatura for non or sans serif fonts that you could use. One, one other visualization tool that is not very highly regarded by scientists is empty space on your presentations. This is very important though, and it can help to make your presentation much more effective. So in this example here I used a lot of empty space on the front, who kind of highlight the conclusion here written in bold text. So your eyes are kind of drawn to this location and that's just thanks to the empty space. So don't be afraid to leave a lot of empty space on your presentations. Yeah, I mentioned a lot of this in a previous webinar, which you can find online as well if you Google for it. So here I come to text. Here we should mind Chargan. But those who don't know, and for scientists, here's the definition Chargan is a word or phrase that loses or changes meaning when used people outside the field. And an example of Chargan is actually given in this definition. It's the word field. The word field just means you know an area of open land for us in Switzerland, usually, including a cow. But of course for us, it's kind of clear that it should be a particular branch of study. So this is kind of extreme example but it's also often used within research groups or research fields. And when you talk to people outside these kind of groups then comes really difficult to still communicate effectively. So think about Chargan and whether you should use it on acronyms is another example that you should take care of. You can give a lot of time, for example, LLS VP or ECMWF, but they can quickly alienate outside the audience. So avoid if possible. And also physical units I too often see them wrong or confusing. Try to stick to SI units, proper units at least. Good example in Geoscience is the million years dimension. Kind of a combination of letters that I used to represent millions of years as dimension. And of course the two lower ones are wrong. So there's no dots in actual dimensions. There's also no plural in actual dimensions. So S in this case stands for second rather than years. So don't use these. Use those. So I'm using text in general. But to use short and instructive titles so I learned that when I wrote this news and views on sinking plates on Venus so I wanted to have a really cool title and suggested something like what happens on Venus stays on Venus. I mean, if you read that title, you really have no idea what it's about. So, and that's what you really want on first side to kind of communicate what it's about. So sinking plates on Venus is short and clear and gives away like the topic quickly. And then also it helps to give away your main point your conclusions quickly often. So keep your sentences short and clear just for better readability. And then it's good to simplify your text. This doesn't mean you have to dumb it down and think about it, like, as if you would widen your audience. If you simplify your text to like the same. It's the case for models that we do. We kind of simplify to a point where it's most effective to communicate something as with the heart. You know which shape is the perfect one to give to someone who you like. So like this statement here, don't underestimate your readers intelligence, but also don't overestimate their knowledge of a particular field. So young scientists often try to, or believe that everyone in the audience knows more than they do, but it's actually not the case usually you are the most knowledgeable expert on your topic. So, yeah, keep that in mind. So, let's come to poster design few specifics before you start to create your poster and ask yourself what's a poster. And I think this is something like that a quick and concise overview of some research. So that means, for example, don't put your post papers abstract on your poster your poster should be your abstract, right to give an overview. It really helps for me, I try to force myself to write these answers down. So, what's your message, that's something like we found that, or also know who's your audience. And in the case of each you this is a broad range of geoscientists, including experts and non experts. So you're aware of your figures environment, which in this case is a poster board in the big each you general assembly poster. And by doing that you can make a much better poster. Then there's this better poster design by Mark Morrison, he's thought a lot about how to best present a poster visually in a in a big conference like each year. You can start with. So the main finding is the central part of it, and it should be, you know, in the center, easily readable for people that just walk by quickly. And then you have more details on the side and of course when you interact with the presenter you can already tell us as well. So if we convert our example poster into one that is based on the better poster design. It looks like this. It's a good poster I think because it has some elements that really help to communicate your research. So it uses a clear font that is easily readable by everyone. It uses simple elements that kind of make it simple to navigate through your posters. It uses empty space again, people use empty space. And there's macro empty space which, as I mentioned before, kind of gives highlight to some graphic element and there's micro empty space which just divides individual elements clearly so they're clearly visible. So if you want to know about motivation, you can clearly go there. It also fulfills some graphic principles like contrast. So the biggest contrast that stands out more is your conclusion with the blue color. It applies symmetry. So it's kind of nice to look at with both side panels there. It has hierarchy which is very important. So you guide the viewers I first to the conclusion then title and then all the details. So it's a very good poster design and actually that all the templates for your different software. You can find on sync.org. So a good test to kind of check your poster whether it's effective or not is to do the highway billboard test so imagine your poster on a highway billboard. And the drivers passing by have around 10 seconds to get the main message and decide whether they should take the next exit to your to your poster or not. So I think this works quite well with the example B but doesn't it with the example A. The better poster design is also very useful because it saves you a lot of work time it is kind of time effective to create. So I just I tried this myself I just put my own research on in this template and I could do it and a quick list or came up with these three examples. Of course you can then keep working on it. So if you have more time to spend on your poster or you maybe can improve it and do something like this that is still kind of you based on the on the template. But kind of looks a bit different in this more personal maybe. Thanks, Fabio. So just a final presentation type which I was mentioned, which are the display design or display materials. The display materials or display design are the supplementary material which are displayed in support of conference work, for example, EG 23. The materials are hosted on EG sphere, the EG open access and online repository, which Fabio already mentioned, they are online for two months. Using EG sphere means can provide additional information to support your work in the sessions, which we were able to do otherwise. An awesome user presentation data and material is stored on the cloud travel. And they are flexible for flexibility for format presentations from graphics to videos to data wells as Fabio mentioned previously. Two key things to keep in mind about this is to keep the materials of explanatory as you might be there to guide people through your graphics, for example. To make sure the format works for different devices, such as a square format and you but you can make your materials interactive or by including for example links to other websites or further reading. So that Fabio would like to continue and move on to the final section. Yes. Display materials. Again, same as with poster before you start. Ask yourself what's a display or what's a supplementary material. Again, it's a kind of quick overview of your research. Then again, don't put your papers abstract on it. It's again, kind of summary of your paper itself. Write down again these three points. Know your message. And we found that know your audience know the presentations environment. And in this case it's kind of online on choose fear. The displays can be any format really. But they contrast to the posters they need to be self explanatory. So they just stand on their own. So you won't be there to explain it. I'll use it at the copyright statement by default. I think each you will license it by CC by 4.01, which just means everyone can use your material, as long as they cite you. So I thought about this a few years back when I designed my first display what would be the best format to do that. And I really like the square interactive PDF format. So I made a few of those. One to show you why I think it's useful. So it would be this one down here it has like square slides of a PDF. It's very versatile for multiple screens. So again, you think about how people will access it. And some of them will access it on the desktop computer but I think more and more people will also browse through the displays on their mobile phones. So in the square format kind of allows to trust it in either landscape or portrait ratio. So you kind of use up the real estate of your screens effectively if you if you do it in the square form. Also you can add links to your PDFs and this then oh sorry there's a lot of text on it but you can add links to for one make it interactive so people can actually click through it and go where they want to go. You can also add external links where people can find resources on the internet or even your your your paper. Okay, and finally, I just give you some poster making tips, which also apply to this place. Best is if you make itself explanatory also the poster because it stands that whole day and you're not at your poster for the entirety of the time so it's really useful to do that at your contact details so people can find you ask questions afterwards. It's good to if you add links to external resources, like the paper or so, and a really good way nowadays is to add our codes, you can do that online. And then also state whether sharing is permitted so each you offers these patches you can add to your poster, either to allow sharing or to permit sharing. And then accessibility. You can simulate color vision deficiency. As I mentioned, for example on the internet on the website cobblers, or you can simply desaturate your poster to see whether it works in black and white. Be open as Elena also mentioned be open for feedback. We have never learned enough. Keep improving. Make your figures are producible because you will reuse them in various different presentations and so on. So it saves you a lot of time. And then a good tip is also to use open access software or cheap software, because you know they're often on on non permanent contracts and if you, if you change your job you might lose access to some software that you have had used So yeah, this is just an example. And then finally acknowledge others work. This kind of important so at some references to your poster you don't have to print the entire references page with pages and journal issues and so on but make a short reference list to site data scientific concepts and even reuse graphics. And here are a few resources that help you make posters mentioned the better poster template you can find on sync.org, scientific color maps and sure that everyone can read your scientific visualizations. sync.org has a lot of geoscience graphics online that are free to use. As long as you cite the people who made it. And then you can also use image a it's each use an open access photography collection, which is also geoscience based. So to conclude my part and try to avoid graphic pitfalls such as using improper scales as for accessibility. So graphic tools. Communicate for and not to the audience so think about how they kind of listen to you how they look at your poster, instead of just thinking of yourself presenting it. Then follow the billboard test to just make it effective. And if you can use and share community tools. Again, for example via sync.org or immaterial that each and finally just my last tip. Kind of put your own style and all your presentation and put your heart in it and it will be just perfect. Thanks for listening. Back to you Simon. Excellent. Thank you so much to all of you for giving a presentation today. We're quickly running out of time, but perhaps one question for you, we all disappear. We touched on quite a few presentation types today, but one that's lesser done presentation is the long form one where people perhaps get invited for a keynote or 30 minute talk or something like that. Any thoughts ideas how to approach their more long form presentation at all. Is it for me, Simon. Yes. Okay, thank you. Yeah, that's true. We, we focus here on the shorter ones, but there are also the longer ones that or the invited ones. I think that one thing that many things apply the same way tell your story. I think we can also we have to think more when you have longer presentations is this structure of it in terms of steps of it could be related to what Fabio said on the poster you have to have the Iraqi steps so people say okay that's one that's two that's three that's four so you know where to go. So in a longer presentation, we usually have to have like, sometimes a plan explicitly if it's longer than 4045 minutes to say well I'm in introduction now I'm talking about data now I'm talking about methods or results. You don't have, you don't need to have that structure in an invited talk of 20 or 30 minutes, but you may have to have something wrapped up by colors or by letters ABC or 123, or like I have three big methods to tell you so first one this second one that that that helps to keep the people attentive during the long presentation. So, since she needs to make sure there's a key structure and live in to these long presentations that keeps the audience engaged such as stretching it through a series of questions are so much. Yeah. Thank you. With that, we're actually out of time. So I have to quickly thank our two speakers. Maria Helena Remus and Fabio Cameri for the talks today. Thanks to the participants for joining this has been quite in depth, a little discussion on the tips and tricks, you can have for your presentation coming General Assembly. The recording of this webinar will be available on the YouTube YouTube channel next week on Wednesday. So if you want to come back review the presentation. I'll look at a slide in particular. That's the best way to do it so check out our YouTube channel Wednesday next week. Otherwise, I'll close the webinar. Thank you again everyone for attending.
