All this talk lately of preparing students/postdocs for aggressive
questioners at seminars is making me a bit nervous. I'll be giving a
talk for the first time in about three weeks, at a very large meeting
(Yeast Genetics and Molecular Biology, at University of Maryland). So
far, my public speaking has been limited to presentations within my own
department. In addition, this will be my first time attending a
scientific meeting. Do any of you have some words of wisdom for
beginning speakers?
