Talk Nerdy to Me: Presenting Your Science to the Public

Talking to the general public about your science can be tricky—How much can you assume they know? How much detail should you share? How can you get them excited about your topic?

If these questions sound familiar, this workshop is for you. Melissa Marshall will offer proven strategies that will improve your content, slides and delivery so that you can more easily engage a general audience. This is an interactive workshop where you’ll participate in group exercises, analyze video examples and then practice the techniques you’ve learned using your own work.

Please bring your laptop.

Meet Melissa

Changing the world, one presentation at a time.

Melissa Marshall is on a mission: to transform how scientists and technical professionals present their work. That’s because she believes that even the best science is destined to remain undiscovered unless it’s presented in a clear and compelling way that sparks innovation and drives adoption.

For a decade, she’s traveled around the world to work with Fortune 100 corporations, institutions and universities, teaching the proven strategies she’s mastered through her consulting work and during her time as a faculty member with the Department of Communication Arts & Sciences at Penn State University. In 2016, Melissa was invited by the President of the American Heart Association to service on the Education and Communication Advisory Committee for the AHA’s Institute for Precision Cardiovascular Medicine.

When you work with Melissa, you will get the practical skills and the natural confidence you need to immediately shift your “information dump”-style presentations into ones that are meaningful, engaging, and inspire people to take action.

Melissa is also a dynamic speaker who has lectured at Harvard Medical School, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, NASA, the New York Academy of Sciences, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For a sneak peek, check out her TED talk, “Talk Nerdy to Me.” It’s been watched by over 2 million people (and counting).
