Slide Presentations

Abstract

Many individuals view the need to deliver an occasional paper at a national meeting as an occupational hazard of their profession. Others take the more optimistic view that the presentation of a paper not only presents an opportunity to assist others, but also offers an excellent means to accelerate one’s career and argue that as much attention should be given to the presentation (both oral and written) as was given to the actual research. There is more at stake than one’s own reputation; after all, in an oral presentation you are holding your colleagues captive.
