message in noise,
metal in raw ore.
Scientific Presentation seeks to refine
that message so well that the audience
captures your thoughts and ideas
within the presentation time allotted.

16. Quote:
“The political will of African leaders on
the vital issue of agriculture is
questioned. Otherwise, how do we
explain a situation where, for example
in Nigeria, about 70% of its people are
engaged in agriculture, that still
contributes up to 40% of the GDP, yet
only 2% of the Federal Budget is
allocated to agriculture and related
development.”

29. Presentation Aspects to Note
1. Number of slides to use
2. Dress: not over-done
3. Voice: clear and varied
4. Movement: slight/restricted
5. Use pointer only for target
6. Focus on details to discuss
7. Allow audience read a bit
8. Smile and make ‘eye contact’
www.iita.org
30. Thank you for listening
But remember that you and I
are part of the solution
only if we do our small parts

scientists can use to
enhance their presentations
www.iita.org
33. Features
• Hyperlinks
• Images
• Sounds
• Animations and transitions
www.iita.org
34. Hyperlinks allow one to link to
• another slide in the presentation

• another slide in a different presentation
• a website
• an email address
• another file on the computer
www.iita.org
36. Adding video and audio clips
• Audio
• Video clips
Sound effects may distract too
www.iita.org
37. Transitions and Animations
transitions - how slides move from one another
animation effects - how your slide objects move onto the slide
• Used to emphasize important points
• Keep them to a minimum
