I came here looking for silver and I've found gold. Thank you, kind sir. From Colima's University, thank you! I'm going to prepare a 3MT so wish me luck!
Appreciate the feedback! The channels on a slow 🔥, but might pick up if I get off my bum and start making more vids.. I’ve actually got a few vids planned, but just trying to find some time (had to put it on the back burner for a bit). The next vids will be about how to make your science sound more engaging and interesting- I think you’ll like it!
Thank you! I don’t do MT3 but have to prepare a 2 minute pitch for a postdoc interview - what a torture 😟 but now your video made my life a bit easier!
No worries! I’d say pretty much the same concepts would apply for a 2min postdoc interview. However the audience (being a PI or professor) is slightly different, so in general, you can skip explaining basic concepts and get straight into setting up the problem. Only deviation would be if your pitching a postdoc project that is left of field or slightly out of scope to a supervisors typical range of study. A example of this might he if your doing an interdisciplinary project that’s taking elements of their research and combining it with another field. In this situation, you might need to explain the forks their not familiar a little more basic. Also I’ve never heard of doing a 2min pitch for a postdoc interview. Is this a for a speed dating like thing?
Very useful guide! It’s along time since I presented my thesis, but I’m going to a conference soon that requires a video abstract of my poster (this will be my first time using #BetterPoster format!), so this is very on-point! It’s so great to see the process of scientific presentation getting shaken up.
Thanks! This feedback means a lot! I really need to get back into producing content (I’ve got a tonne of ideas sitting around). Are there any particular topics you’d like to see me cover?
Thanks! Always great to hear the videos are useful. Should be firing up some new vids this week (looking to try doing a bunch of shorts). Let me know if there’s any topics you’d find useful for me to cover
Great to hear! Make sure you check out the follow up vid if you haven’t already on presentation. Seems to be less popular, but has bunch more tips on the delivery side of the 3MT. Let me know how you go with your talk! (Presuming you’re having a go this year?)
@@stemventurist I received second place for my presentation. I think a video on tips and techniques on overcoming the fear or presenting and how to engage the audience and judges better.
@@craig3205 Awesome, congrats! Regarding fear- one thing I've been hearing a lot lately is to rather try and ignore it, turn that anxious energy into excitement. Apparently these energies are similar/ fire along the same neurons, so it's better to change your perception of the feelings. ie. instead of 'I'm dreading giving a talk', reframe it to 'I'm excited to tell people what I'm working on'. There's also some tips in part 2 of this video, but I think each deserve some in depth detail. I'll through them on the my list of topics to cover!
My 3MT is kinda different, it's about presenting a solving a programming problem Hope Those tips are gonna be useful Anyway Thanks, man I appreciate ur efforts
Ha ha, that could be a good idea to make a 3MT on how to do a 3MT 😂 I think I did a bullet point summary in the episode notes (should take less than a 1min to read). Actually, would you find a 1 page PDF summary of the tips in the video useful/ something you’d refer to regularly?
Thank you for the video! It is really great! :) I am just preparing to my 3mt presentation. And i have a question. :D I just started my phd last september, and i don't have clear results yet. Is it a good way to end the presentation with the questions, i am examining in my research right now?
Glad you found the vid useful! It depends on how your structuring it, but I'd probably have the questions your examining around the 1min mark (after setting up the problem in the first part). I'd probably end with the big picture vision. i.e. What would happen if you solve the issues your researching- both at the micro and macro level. This can be a bit daunting to put yourself out there and make potential forecasts, but you can hedge your bets by saying something like 'my research could have an impact on (the problem your addressing), BUT collectively with others in the field, we could solve this much larger issue of (insert issue). If we solve it, it could change the world by (insert impact). If you have early data, you can also allude to that 'our early data is suggesting...but this will require further work'.
Also if you haven't already, check out part 2 of doing a 3MT. This vid is surprisingly not getting much love from the yotuube algorithm, but contains loads of tips in regards to the performance and presentation side of the 3MT. It will help you increase your confidence and perform your best on the day (although, this was written back when we were doing physical events, so I probably need to do a separate video of doing a recorded presentation): ua-cam.com/video/EC0mu1pI0PY/v-deo.html

This guy deserves more audience ❤️❤️. Your content is really helpful to me for my dissertation presentation in my postgraduate!

Amazing summary of the common mistakes, my friend. Thank you for your efforts.

Tips for the preparation of 20min talks (conferences, congresses, etc) without it being boring/too overwhelming, but still professional@@stemventurist
Thank you very much indeed for your insightful tips they r very helpful
Thanks! Always great to hear the videos are useful. Should be firing up some new vids this week (looking to try doing a bunch of shorts). Let me know if there’s any topics you’d find useful for me to cover
Hey! These tips were super great, thank you from Canada! :)

Thankyou, this helped me prepare for my 3MT presentation
No worries Craig! Let me know how it goes and if there are any other things you think I should include in a follow up video

Anyway Thanks, man I appreciate ur efforts
Thanks mate! I’m really interested in seeing how you do your 3MT- sounds cool! Let me know if you record it and happy to share 👍
That's amazing info. . . Thank you very much. . . Regards from INDIA
No worries! Make sure to check out the other part on presenting if you haven’t already. It’s a good supplementary video on the performance side.
Really appreciate the effort❤
nice video thanks! one tip I'd give you is that the video transition between tips is a tad too long!
If I start with the application/impact part of my research, how shall I finish my speech? with the impact part again? is this OK?
Thank you so much!!
I wish these tips were done in 3 minutes
