Talk data to me: How to present youR data to any audience
summary
Clear, single-message presentations start by picking one main takeaway and pruning everything else; use supplementary slides as a backup (organised by topic) rather than cramming detail into live slides. Follow a practical five by five rule to keep slides simple, number slides for quick reference, and walk audiences axes to data to message when showing figures (example: CIHR funding shows a sharp rise in priority-area investment in 2020–2021). Practice aloud, and a 180-slide deck of simple focused slides can work.
