Resources for giving effective presentations

Giving effective presentations is an extremely important skill in academia and beyond, but is typically not taught formally. Nevertheless, a wealth of advice on this subject is available online. Below are some references I recommend:

• Jean-luc Doumount’s talk on creating effective slides
• Aaditya Ramdas’s checklist for effectively presenting work in Stat-ML
• Zach Holman’s speaking.io website and talk on talks
• Jeff Leek group guide to giving talks
• Presentation Patterns book by Neal Ford, Matthew McCollough, and Nathaniel Schutta (e-book link for Penn affiliates)
• The Non-Designer’s Design Book by Robin Williams (e-book link for Penn affiliates)
