- - - - • The opening of your presentation
      - • The closing section of your presentation
      - • Transitions (between slides and sections)
      - • Quotations (note that there will be few, if any, in scientific talks)
- - - - As a rough guideline, use the 5×5 rule:
      - • About five words per bullet point
      - • Five bullet points per slide
- - - - • Be well organized
        
        • Be geared toward the audience
        
        • Use more visuals than text
        
        • Be displayed in a simple yet attractive way
        
        • Contain text that is easy to read
    - - • Technology is key. Remote presentations are fully dependent on technology. It is vital to test all equipment before the presentation.
        
        • You can control the view of what your audience sees by adjusting your background, lighting, and the angle view.
        
        • Engaging the audience is even more important in remote presentations. The audience can easily become distracted by their own environments and because their electronic devices are right in front of them. It is therefore key to keep your audience engaged and on track.
        
        • Audiences interact with speakers differently during remote presentations. Chat windows and discussion spaces allow for more instantaneous feedback from audiences. They also allow you to share links more easily.
- - - - Be courteous in your answers at all times.
      - Repeat the question to ensure the entire audience has heard it clearly.
      - Admit when you do not know the answer.
      - Ask the questioner to rephrase the question.
      - Direct the answer to the entire audience.
      - Ask the questioner to talk to you after the session if the question turns into a bigger discussion.
    - - Don't
        
        Do not give your audience an opportunity to interrupt your presentation.
        
        Do not make up an answer if you do not know.
        
        Do not maintain eye contact with the questioner when you give your answer.
        
        Do not argue with a questioner.
