"It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech." --Mark Twain (allegedly)
This is the condensed version
"science doesn't have to be beautiful, it has to be effective"
i love this
This is the best line
This is tragic..
That would be science communication
A complete description of your future by the way

Her breath control is impressive 👏🏽
She even tried a decent australian accent
She's Beyonce
She could probably become a good saxophonist
Yeah, you can look at the way she moves her diaphragm. Truly unbelievable
Her voice is crystal clear and she didn't use any filler words at all. Truly deserving the award she got.
yes, agreed. her clear semi-feminine clear voice free from vocal fry, up talk and overuse of filler words is her best attribute. otherwise i found her over polished stilted and lacking authenticity of knowledge. it's like she could just prepare to present any information not that she's an expert in the material. almost an infomercial style presentation.
@@u235u235u235 this is a lecture meant for randoms - not for experts in her field. She choose not to include anything that would make the audience feel lost, or overwhelmed. If she packed those 3 min with as much info as possible none in the audience would remember anything.
@@A_R_B_G stop that.
@@iwantlee9510 That chappie's point went waaaaay over your head. You realise he used a lot of filler words, thus making a jab at the OP's statement? xD
yes, i was a little too fixated on the dual mic packs and clarity of the presentation.. top notch.
im an AV nerd
This scientist respects my time more than I do.
So true
Good one
I watch most videos at 1.5x or 2x but this one is really time saving on normal speed😅
The best comment 😂
😂😂
no umming or awing, no stammering.....smashed it
Well it was fkin 3 minutes
Haha...people with speech disabilities and impediments should never make the attempt? What's your problem with stammering because I have one. We are all not the same... remember that.
We do ummm when we frame sentences in English..Her mother tounge may be English, so it's effective..
Flawless
Yeah, this is what happens when you have knowledge, confidence, and REHEARSE, REHEARSE, REHEARSE. This lady knows this speech and the information within like the back of her hand, and she shows it.
She's very impressive, not only did she summarized her own research in 3 minutes that took a lot of time, days, months and even a year, rhe way she spoke was very clear, brief and concise. Simple in terms yet it gives a big impact to audience and listeners. She explained it very straighforwardly, direct, without any stutters or mistakes. I'm in awe.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That project was probably 2-4 years in the making tbh
its called cutting to the chase.
She had to train hard
Sounds like you could use some tips from her with this comment.
The key to this was she obviously did this speech dozens of times to control her breathing and get the timing right. The breath control and no filler words is so impressive.
Me with a single slide of presentation. Teacher: What the hell is this?
As if
B
Are you already well-prepared? This kind of question also will popped out from lect, i guess
😂
They want quantity 😇
Depends on the topic. Informative ones require multiple slides.
Mindblowing how she even had time to kickstart things off with a joke. Hats off.
Strewth!
No idea why this showed up in my feed 8 years later, but I was still impressed. She must be a Doctor by now and saving lives through her research.
lol I was surprised to see my former co-worker show up in my youtube search screen. She got her PHD and then did a US post doc (or two?) in a natural products focused research lab in the NW of the US for a few years. thats when i met her when i was in the same research lab as a pharmd student. She later left to go work at the local hospital to do what sounded like administration/data science work. She told me about how competitive the job market was in academia ("everyone clawing eachother to death over 42$k/yr positions" to use her words lol). Im pretty sure she is making a bit more than that in her new role. she was really gifted in the lab though and with research. too bad phd is just not what it used to be, too many bad apples and lack of competition. glad i went to professional school instead of phd....
Same
@@vevenaneathna pics or it didn’t happen
@@vevenaneathna kind of sad someone with her level of training and expertise cannot use her skills to contribute to something more valuable and be rightfully paid for it. Hopefully she's finding ways to do it anyways in her new path
@@vevenaneathna what is professional school
She accomplished more in 3 minutes than I will accomplish in my entire life.
I wanna like your comment but It has 69 likes
You actually told the truth
Ik it might be a joke but in case it’s not: its never to late to start doing something my guy.
Whats not what happened
That is just sad
Just imagine how many demos she has given before presenting here
Practice makes perfect 😊
@@azeeminator Only if you practice perfectly
you just need to practice like lingling
Practice is good beside just presentation👍

Science doesn’t have to be beautiful but effective 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I wanted to ask her, but are all scientists mandatory beautiful?
No but it "needs" to.
The thing is the average guy doesn't recognize beauty in science.
ua-cam.com/video/sMG1nlQi5bg/v-deo.html .,..,
Well efficiency is beautiful in its own way as well.
Vusi Mshayisa effective science is beautiful
She didn't even give me time to think and wander around in my thoughts. Her presentation kept me hooked throughout. I found it interesting and understood it mostly even though I am not into this field. Thats very impressive. I wish to be concise and straight forward like her.
She knows her own thesis so well, and had her presentation so well rehearsed... she nailed it!!!
Excellent presentation ..... I mean Presentation should be like this that even the audience is not from your project/thesis field but they are able to understand what was the problem and what the solution has been given .
Well depends on the topic and point of your presentation
Applicable in only professional use. For school use you get 0 marks for your PowerPoint. Speech excellent. Minimum 10 slides here😭
I kinda felt like the project wasn't finished yet.
Her project was to create suitable mosquito traps and test them, but right up until the end I was expecting her to compare the environmental differences of her testing grounds.
Still a great presentation though, I wish I could speak that good. :3
What if your thesis is on the effects of quantum tunneling on the microstructure of beta-type crystals? Well, this doesn't make any sense, but you get my point
@@carlosmspk if u cant explain it to a regular person.. u dont know it well enough.
Everybody in comment section ' I'll do my best in the next ppt" amd here i am trying to figure out stage fear
ikr, it's like how did she overcomes stage fear?
samedt
@@fritzlauren7991 She faced the fear multiple times, learning to hone her skills doing it, to the point where she realized there is no reason to be scared of it.
Ask any psychiatrist, they'll tell you to face your fears willingly.
just don't give a fuck about what people think. this may sound difficult. but a great man once said -
" learn to be comfortable in being uncomfortable".
another great man said 'PRACTICE makes a man perfect.'
destroy your reputation and give as many presentations as you can without thinking about embarrassment. think about how you can improve yourself in the next chance and nothing else.
@@kristian1115 👍👍💯
She has the confidence of somebody who had a really successful research outcome, with a brilliant, "simple" idea. The best way is to present this great idea just as simple. Well done.
I remember my undergrad thesis. I must've spoken more than 10,000 words but I don't think I have explained my study as clearly as this woman.
I love that it's very short. I hope more universities promote thesis writing that can actually contribute to the society and not impose superfluous formats that only make studies verbose and redundant but lack substance.
True that!
Maybe because its a hilariously simple concept, if this wasn't thought of already then what hope do we have with all these science institutions pumping out useless research
Am sure no University would promote thesis that lack substance
@@VungL maybe she meant for larger public
Okay, but this is only for people outside of the field. This thesis could be completely meaningless but nobody would know with what was shown. Thesis presentations are verbose because they are a defense of your conclusions against every possible way that they could be wrong.
These presentations are nice for a general audience and definitely have their purpose, but these comments seem to not understand what real science is.
Everyone: “Excellent presentation!”
Me: “Excellent preparation!”
bingo
No u r no different,, every one trying to make unique comment, so is with you
@@gauravnathan5701 he is different, in the fact that he succeeded!
Yup 100%
@@gauravnathan5701 "Ready Perfectly."
you can hear every time she took breath it'll always be a deep breath because you can tell she is nervous, but the mindset like "I must succeed" or "I cannot fail this time" what makes someone to success. so I think not only her preparation is very good but also confidence.
i cant imagine the preparation she went through to be able to present her whole research in 3 mins (without compromising the information being conveyed to the audience) impeccable
I'm just jealous of her ability to control her arms so smoothly during the presentation.
Practice make perfect. If you need to hold a presentation and you're not confident. Practice in front of a mirror.
The presentation was 3 min long.
~about the time we take to connect our laptop to the projector.
Specially when it's a hp laptop
😂
Considering she wasn't the first candidate to speak using that laptop.
@@mbsucks101 you probably used laptop with hdd or intel atom
nah, booting my laptop takes 4 minutes..
Although people are seeing her charisma as the main drive, the fact of the matter is that her research produced something that actually helps humanity. She didn't have to hide behind mental gymnastics or rethorical tricks to convey that, the fact that she did something very helpful allows her to walk in as a winner.
It's been 8 years but still isn't implied in India
And here I am am preparing my physics presentation using graphs and thor for voltage jokes 😂
LMFAO how did it go?
Thor jokes are actually great!
hahaha
No joke that sounds very entertaining.
🤣
She explained her 1 year of hard work in 3 minutes. Well done :)
If you can't summarize the main points of your work in 3 minutes, you can't do it in an hour.
This is a person who actually cares about helping people, and completely rocked the delivery.
This works because of her strong narrative.
A good structure to follow is AIDA
(Attention, Interest, Desire, Action)
She starts with the *Problem* makes a joke and creates a hook
Gives the *solution* and backs them up by addressing all the possible doubts that may come.(like pricing, materials viability)
Shows the *vision* of what she world without the problem looks like.
Solid framework. And if you're creating a presentation(any presentation) you should definitely try implementing her flow.
Her joke was very cringe. It was no hook.
@@kingstarscream3807 only because you're Australian and can't take it, but I bet you can dish it out.
She must've gone through many challenges before she came up with this simple but creative innovation. Her speech alone is truly inspiring.
Every student or teacher needs to see this
Wow the best presentation I've ever seen. now this will be my guide for my next presentations.
Then here comes WHO saying they need 2m USD to fund the same thing. Way to go girl. Simple, effective and cheap! What's not to like?
@@RM-fs8ub The cost of the device may be cheap. But the cost to for the brain power is not. No scientist should work for free or get paid less than a waitress except for Ph.D student (like her) making thesis.
In undergrad and honours years they usually tell you it has to xyz min long at least. So annoying
I came back to this magnus opus of concision and eloquence every now and then as a college student. Now that next academic year will be my thesis year, I am gonna learn a thing or two from this lady here and then.
she is really dedicated to what she's done. the dedication brings confidence. congratulations
It's so great to see someone present such groundbreaking research in such a humble and down-to-earth way. She is totally focused on the purpose of her research with zero ego and hype. A million miles from all the 'influencers' who have nothing of substance to offer and yet seem to think they are deserving of the world's attention.
Great points. And her work is literally going to save lives! What a hero.
Eh.. there's a fair bit of ego and hype in that she basically only solved the first step of all the things she claims to have achieved. But that's pretty common in science, and not really anything to hold against her. Just most people seem to gloss over that and accept that if A is impressive, B and C are given. This is not true. A is however still impressive ^^
You said it well.
I am an engineer, i can do all that research and write thesis but can't find the balls to go up and explain it so precisely like her. Bravo
Same here. Anxiety ruins my presentation
@@kamartaj3010 me too.
i am an absolute ace at presenting, public speaking etc., but i am a retard at anything else.
I remember having to do a 5 minute presentation for a semester long project. It seemed so overwhelming trying to get everything in! I wish I had seen this video back then 😅
You really gotta interrogate yourself and get to the heart of your work in order to deliver such a well done presi. Good work!
When you have that kind of clear and straightforward data you only need three minutes to explain it. Congratulations on excellent work.
Why did this randomly get recommended to me 6 years later
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka idk but I’ve been getting lots of ads for this university so maybe that is why
Me too :D I just watch it after 6 years Hahaa
One never questions UA-cam recommendations
Straight to the point, logical and simple no beating around the bush.
*Absolutely loved it. Wish I could be this confident one day.*
I love that she gave us enough information, which we could actually follow and understand, that those three minutes seemed to last longer. That's amazing.
3 minutes and not a single second wasted. well done to her for both her incredible research as well as her ability to convey information.
“science doesn’t have to be beautiful but effective”
that is android
No, the beauty of science is effectiveness
@@h4ro457 wrong, science may be none.
that "was" android
Hahaha
Not essentially until you figure out why
If she teaches in university classes, her students will be happiest ever as she will finish her lecture for the entire year in three minutes.
am giving presentations this semester one after another and this 3minute presentation made me realize what actually should be a presentation. Capture your audience by information.
The commercials I was forced to endure took longer than the video.
She delivered a powerful speech with modest body language.
"Science doesn't have to be beautiful; it has to be effective."
That's a beautiful statement!
That's how they made the atomic bomb. Ugly, but very effective. Not even close to beautiful though.
Perfection. This is a masters class on how to present a thesis.
As someone who has to present his thesis in a month, I've been feeling stressful for months. Watching this presentation changed my outlook and made me realize how being confident with one's own research is what it takes to present the findings so effectively. I hope I will ace it and be on my merry way to my next step.
I remember how I practice to be more confident while discussing our research study to the panelist, end up being commended by our confidence but our research paper had to have major revisions 😂 gosh, it's really hard tho
Well at least you did great on the confidence department. 😂 That's a good point.
I'm doing my research to have a good thesis presentation next week, any advice or words?
@@wina3638 Good luck! everything gonna be alright
@@wina3638 rehearse and rehearse. Imagine you're actually in the presentation room and reporting in front of the panel :)
@@wina3638 I have no good advice, I'm just here to wish you luck on your research
Youniverse E practice in front of the mirror or by imagining that there’s an audience in front of you.
Knowing that she was going to be recorded, this girl knew how to manage her anxiety.
Amazing everything, presenter on stage, presentation delivery, topic relevance and study design. Well done!
One of the most concise presentation I've seen. Extremely professional as well as informative. Her density of content made the time seem inadequate to convey how much was contained. I hope in the intervening 10 years since this was presented she has had great success.
She could be a scientist, teacher, and public speaking coach.
" Im not from his/her project, field or thesis but I can understand what she is talking about "
Now this is example of good presentation.
what's with the his/her?
@@carlosmspk being careful about the gender.
It's a must these days.
@@sankarnath5445 just say them, it’s inclusive of all.
@@yweerakkody7472 'their' would've worked better in this case but yes
I'd feel super offended if I looked like that and someone referred to me as him/her 😂
Awesome presentation as well as preparation, this is what we should learn to study something for a long period of time and then just summarizing it in such small time so that its effective and interesting.
hats off to this lady!
I’m impressed by the amount of information received from this 3 minutes presentation. Great work!

Everybody focus on the presentation and few realize her contribution, her project is life saving. She is a genius woman.

A good preparation, excellent presentation 🎉❤
Her short presentation is like an email which couldve been used to discuss problems throughout a company, but executives prefer weekly meetings with presentations that have 30 slides.
The fact that she didn't use a teleprompter made me listen even more intently. She's an absolute UNIT!
What's a teleprompter?
we live well into the age of google and you're asking someone on YT instead?@@abhinandhari7812
I did not know why this showed in my feed 5 years ago and now. And I still feel this presentation is as impressive as I felt before.💯
Her body language and way of speech while her presentation enthralled me more.👍
Thank God for this young woman. There’s great hope for the next generation.
Come on, that was awesome!
I have a paper dissertation in 2 days and I´ll have only 5 minutes. I wish I could do it as well as Emily did hehehee
Cheers!
How did it go? I'll be presenting my paper tomorrow 😱

I think it went bad. He aint replying.
Being in the corporate world where I do so many presentations, I can say that this is an AMAZING presentation.
The flow was so smooth and the transitions were on point.
I love this woman so much ,I truly admire her.intelligent,beautiful,neat,simple but elegant,so fluent and clear!she is an inspiration!😃❣
What an amazing speech. She made it look so natural and easy.
Legend says, after 6years, she is still carrying this one slide everywhere. Never arrived in India though. I think she is caught up with bush fire detection system.
So so beautiful! Clear, logical and interesting at the same time, I love it.
Her body movement, her speaking confidence and her knowledge of the topic is all straight on point, didn't stutter at all she's impressive af👏
My professors would love her. Concise and to the point, that’s one of the thing they emphasize over and over again.
My teacher: BuT It NeEdS To Be DoUbLeD SpAcEd AnD ThReE pAgEs LoNg.
It does need to be in that format. Just because she explained it well, doesnt mean she didnt follow a research format. I bet you can't even present your paper well because you are too focused on hating what you think your teacher is doing wrong.
times new roman and 12 point font, and your cover page doesn't count!
Where are you references? Is it in apa format? Is it dated?
@ispywithmyeyes I don´t think her comment was SO serius, she has a point which is valid
obviusly that´s not all
@Noel V If you pay close attention to any good discussion or presentation, you will notice that they all follow the essay format. The essay format isn’t necessarily the law of the universe, but it is a format that is logical to follow. For instance, before you present arguments or facts, you have to provide context for what you are arguing or discussing. Before you can do that, you have to introduce what you are talking about. It all follows logical order (first, the intro, then the thesis, then the body paragraphs to argue or support) , because it anticipates that a reader will want/need to know certain information at a given time. I hope this helps.
Amazing! This is really very significant research. This kind of video serves as a huge motivation for other researchers! Congratulations!
She didn't screw around, or waste a moment. She went straight to the point. More please.
Excellent 👏👏👏💯💯💯💯. I am a student of Biology and I do admire your fluency and articulation on this research work. You killed it.
That one mosquito that sings near your ear, yet you can't find it. And that ruins the quality of sleep as well, even with your head under the blanket, the sound of it can drive a person insane.
Wow, within 3 minutes she kill the whole thesis, amazing and impressive
I think this is how thesis presentations should be. Overview, the problem, analysis, method, then conclusion. Simple and straight forward.
Thank you Miss Scientist for respecting my attention span.
Beautifully presented, - effective, straightforward, eloquent, informative- I wish you luck in your future, young lady - you deserve it !
wow..she's really amazing! I wish I can do the same in the next ppt presentation.
The articulation of her speech is incredibly impressive. So clear and concise.
I hope my future wife is this intelligent someday. I love it when people are so creative and think outside the box!
I hope you find an intelligent,kind,caring wife who will always love you no matter what!😊I am rooting for you!
Creative people are so beautiful, even the little creative things little children do or old people do with their wisdom
I learnt something from her presentation. Clear explanation, simple English, 1 Slide for all, Using 5 W+1H. So effective. Brilliant !!!
Interesting. But how do you selectively coax the mosquitoes to the trap when other insects might also be attracted to the honey water? The trap is definitely useful to study distribution of viruses over a region but it is difficult to attribute such distribution to 'infected mosquitoes' unless we are certain that only mosquitoes are depositing such viruses.
Good question!
I think is kept those papers in a box with openings of size that can allow mosquitoes but not bees and butterflies.
As for ants, she might have hung them in air with rope, and have used ant repellent or any posion on the rope.
Now only mosquitoes or flies could have flew in.
I cant think of, how she avoided flies.🤔🤔🤔
My guess is that the pantyhose has a mesh size that keeps out larger insects.
Bro being a medical professional my self, we have to know what kind of viral diseases are native to a certain area, plus we also have to know what animal species usually carry it which is called (vector). So she would have thought of the data collection method befitting to that certain vector.
Her method is to study the epidemiology of the disease or incase a local epidemic breaks out (as she quoted herself dengue for the South Asian region)
Mosquitos have a high affinity for colour blue,even more so than blood .
Ok algorithm you win
such a clear voice, not rushed, but all very concise. Good work, Emily.
I have not wasted the 3 minutes and 18 seconds of my life. This is so informative.
Being an Indian I think this lady has found some brilliant and effective techniques to forecast the possibility of a pandemic and its origin....Thank you Emily Johnston...keep going
Incredible presentation style, brilliant breath control and effective words❤. Like the way she presented
That’s some seriously valuable data, and all for less than a dollar. Serious respect.
I am VERY impressed!! Great presentation. I assume this is not the full presentation to the committee, rather just a talk to public audience. I have a PhD and sat in my defenses. This is one of the best I’ve seen. I also chaired conferences over a decade, so I have some idea how to judge. Great job!
she really demonstrates how much you can achieve on a budget... by doing a one slide presentation
What really amaze me more is her explanation is short, clear, and incredibly easy to understand. It's kinda insane
I enjoyed this presentation, it was short and simple, as-well as being easy to follow along with. Straight to the point and informative!
