Course objectives
Content without style goes unnoticed, and style without content has no meaning


The aim of the course is to improve presentation/soft skills and avoid the usual mistakes presentations typically suffer from.

Learning outcomes
There is no substitute for high quality scientific data but it is also very important to be able to communicate it in understandable form. I cannot guarantee that all the attendees will become masters of presentation but I am sure that will be acquainted with the mistakes often encountered during presentations and will learn how to avoid them.
