A 10-15 Minute Scientific Presentation, Part 1: Creating an Introduction
For many young scientists, the hardest part of a presentation is the introduction. How do you set the stage for your talk so your audience knows exactly where you're going?
Here's how: follow the the CCQH pattern -- Context, Complication, Question, Hypothesis. Fit your research into this pattern, and you will be able to introduce your work in just a few minutes, using just 1 or 2 slides.
The video below show how to use the CCQH pattern using an example of published scientific research. You will see how powerful -- and how adapatable -- the CCQH pattern is.
Make sure you select 720p HD on the video (bottom right corner) for best resolution and so scientific illustrations and figures are clear.
