  3. Oral Posters I. Types of Presentations

  4. Oral Presentations • Professional Meetings • Contributed Papers • Invited Papers • Symposia • Keynote addresses • Seminars • Workshops • Extension Presentations

  5. Types of Professional Meetings • Local Meetings • eg. Oklahoma Academy of Science • Regional Meetings • eg. Southwestern Branch of ESA • National Meetings • eg. National ESA Meeting • Special Topic Meetings • eg. Keystone Symposia • International Congresses • eg. International Congress of Entomology

  6. Breakout: Getting on the Program • What are the approaches and procedures used to get your presentation scheduled at a professional meeting?

  7. I. Types of Presentations Breakout: Getting on the program Titles and Abstracts Breakout: Your reaction to titles Oral Presentations: Organization Oral Presentations: Visual Aids Breakout: What works and what doesn’t V.Oral Presentations: Preparation and Delivery Poster Presentations Breakout: Poster judging

  8. II. Titles and Abstracts • Title selection: consider the type of presentation and the (desired) audience: • Contributed research paper • Invited symposium talk • Seminar • Keynote address

  9. The Contributed Research Paper • Nature of talk • New research results • Short (10-15 minute) • Hope to attract other scientists working in your research area • Title should be businesslike and information-rich • Consider the following….

  10. Bacteria

  11. Bacterial Dissemination

  12. Transmission of Serratia marcescens

  13. Squash Bug Transmission of Serratia marcescens

  14. Squash Bug Transmission of the Plant Pathogen, Serratia marcescens

  15. Squash Bug Transmission of the Plant Pathogen, Serratia marcescens The Role of Bacterial Surface Adhesins

  16. The Invited Symposium or Seminar • Nature of talk • General; review of past and present research • Longer (25-50 minutes) • You hope to pique the curiosity of a more general audience • Title can be more general, informal and creative • Consider the following…

  17. Squash Bug Transmission of the Plant Pathogen, Serratia marcescens The Role of Bacterial Surface Adhesins

  18. Serratia marcescens Niche Specialization by a Versatile Pathogen

  19. Bacteria on the Wing Phytopathogens, Vectors, and Strategies

  20. Perplexing Paradox Prokaryote Pathogen of People, Poikilotherms and Pumpkins

  21. Bacteria on the Loose! Can Your Watermelon Hurt You?

  22. The Abstract • What is the function of the abstract? • For placement within a meeting session • To attract your audience • To serve as a record of the information presented • Is the abstract published? • If yes, should be a “mini-version” of presentation • Include all major paper sections • Include only data about which you are certain • If no, minor generalizations may be permissible

  23. The Abstract • Checklist of tips (Agron. J. 78:720. 1986) • Abstract sections: • Title • Byline • Rationale • Objectives • Methods • Results • Conclusions

  24. Breakout: Reactions to Titles • What type of title catches your interest? • Are there things in a title that turn you off?

  26. III. Organizing the Talk • Again, consider the nature of the talk • Contributed research paper • Invited symposium talk • Seminar • Keynote address

  27. The Contributed Paper(12-15 minutes) • This talk is over quickly! • Message is very focused and clear • Presentation is honed to a fine degree • Talk is rehearsed to fit time allowed

  28. The Intermediate-Length Talk(20-25 minutes) • The extra 10 min allows greater development of your subject • Additional background information may be used • More interpretation/ discussion is possible

  29. The Symposium or Seminar(50 minutes) • A talk of this length should explore the context and impact of your work • Relative lengths of talk segments can vary • Relationship to others’ work is included • Future/proposed work may be presented

  30. I. Types of Presentations Breakout: Getting on the program Titles and Abstracts Breakout: Your reaction to titles Oral Presentations: Organization Oral Presentations: Visual Aids Breakout: What works and what doesn’t V.Oral Presentations: Preparation and Delivery Poster Presentations: Breakout: Poster judging

  31. IV. Oral Presentations: Visual Aids • Computer generated slides • PowerPoint presentation • 2x2 slides • Overhead Transparencies • Chalk/Dry Erase boards

  32. How many slides do you need? • Short talks: 1 slide/minute • Longer talks: 25-30 slides/50 minutes

  33. Slide Design • Keep it simple • Cover one topic per slide • Use pictures to generate interest • Use simple graphs vs. complex tables

  34. Lettering • Use the largest font possible • Use a single, legible font • Do not use all capital letters • Use boldface lettering • Choose font colors that compliment background
