From UMass Chan

Evidence-Based Presentation Design

January 23 | 12:00-1:00pm

There are a lot of "rules" out there about how to design high-quality presentations. It turns out that we should ignore most of them! This session will cover theories from the education and cognitive psychology literature that should guide us instead. Participants will view examples relevant to the biomedical sciences and leave with practical tips for their own future presentations.
