“Take delivering a presentation as a pleasurable task rather than a burden, as it's a matter of pride that you are letting the world know what you have done. That’s what should be the drive rather than any compulsions.”

1. Content Creation

   Before making the slides, you must prepare the content in your mind and then in your notebook.

1. A house is built around the windows and the doors. Note down the thing that you want to show: your results or conclusions. This is your door. Identify the critical elements that lead to your results that will be the windows.

2. Know your audience and prepare your talk accordingly. Never underestimate your audience. You should have a proper understanding of the things that you are going to present.

3. Order of the slides: A presentation is about telling a coherent story. A sequence… a flow are necessary.

    **The flow:**
   

• Where I come from - Previous research
• How it developed and evolved
• Then, the final result comes on a loud note: modulation
• Then calm down: A thank you slide etc.

2. Preparation of Slides

     Now, you start to create a presentation.

1. Outline: Having an outline for the presentation is a must.
2. Credits: Give credit by citing them properly.
3. For people who want details, keep the content after a blank slide after the thank you slide.
4. Font Size: Min 24 in PowerPoint
