SUPERCHARGE YOUR ACADEMIC CAREER BY MASTERING SCIENTIFIC PRESENTATION SKILLS
Present your research in a way that explains, inspires and motivates. My Five-S presenting pyramid will show you the step-by-step approach to become a confident presenter.
No talent needed!
Developed by a scientist for scientists.
Overcome stage fright
Get noticed for your research
Expand your scientific network
You are doing important research.
But are you well recognized for your work?
If not, you are holding back your academic career.
Here is how most scientific presentations fail to make an impact:
Boring, bullet-point littered presentations are forgotten the minute they end.
Nervousness does not allow the presenters to spread the excitement for the work and connect with the audience.
The presenters believe that adding ever more facts will improve the presentation.
You might be doing excellent research. But unless you know how to present it, your are loosing citations to your papers, missing out on collaboration opportunities, and eventually harming your career prospects.
…I’ve developed a blueprint for mastering scientific presentation skills
I will lay out the exact building blocks of a powerful scientific presentation. And I will show you how to learn presenting with ease, regardless whether it is at a conference, workshop, lecture, or thesis defense.
I’ve included it all in the…
Scientific Presentations Masterclass
Martins’ presentation was terrific and enlightening.
The presentation got the attendees -who were all scientists- extremely curious about how to give an incredible scientific talk.
Martins provided valuable insights on how to structure, emphasize, and deliver presentations with confidence and impact. His tips and tricks will undoubtedly help young scientists to improve their presentation skills and succeed in their future endeavors.
The Scandinavian Society for Biomaterials – Young Scientist Forum
Martins delivered an informative, inspiring and engaging lecture. Through practical examples, he demonstrated simple methods to improve both the speech and visual aids for an effective presentation.
You don’t need some special talent for giving powerful academic presentations. It’s just a set of skills that anyone can master.
You will master giving scientific presentations by progressing through the Five-S pyramid: bottom to top one skill at a time. In each level of the pyramid, I’ve included templates, frameworks, and formulas that I developed specifically for scientists.
Here is what you will accomplish
You’ll learn how to put together the content of your presentation.
Master the basics of crafting a powerful presentation, including assessing your audience, coming up with a message that they will have a desire to hear, and then designing visual, informative slides to support it.
…because you want to offer VALUE to your listeners.
You’ll see how to captivate your audience.
Discover the four presentation structures that will allow you to thoroughly explain your research while inspiring and persuading your listeners.
We’ll go through the building blocks and examples of each structure and you will learn the situations in which to deploy each.
…because the intro-methods-results-summary sequence is not the only way to tell about your research
You’ll learn to make your presentations memorable.
(we are not talking about becoming a comedian)
Master six ways to make your audience remember the content of your presentation and remember YOU for your competence.
...because let’s be honest, most presentations will be forgotten as soon as they are finished.
You’ll see how to spot, remember and tell stories .
Becoming a master in telling stories that support the message you wish to deliver will allow you to inspire your audience and drive action. My four story frameworks will guide you through the steps to put together a relatable, meaningful story that relates to your research.
…because human are hard-wired to remember stories.
You’ll overcome stage fright. Period.
You don’t have to be a natural speaker to feel comfortable on the stage. I will show you the three stages of overcoming stage fright. We will use the “After-action review” and conscious competence model to make sure you keep improving your presenting skills, one stumbling block at a time.
…because “imagine everyone naked” is a terrible advice.
…but most importantly…
The Five-S pyramid you will transform you from someone who believes that some people are just lucky to have a talent for giving presentations…
to realizing that presenting is just a skill that you can also master.
The Scientific Presentations Masterclass will allow you to:
Increase the impact of your research
Show your audience why your research matters and how it brings value.
Overcome stage fright
Become a confident presenter by progressing through the Five-S pyramid.
Become known for your research
Be the scientist whose name others circle in the conference program so as to not miss your presentation.

Your instructor – Martins Zaumanis
I was not born a natural communicator. In fact, quite the opposite.
The photo shows my heart rate during a presentation early in my academic career. Despite not having a talent for it, I learned to give powerful presentations.
I forced myself to learn presenting because I grasped the incredible impact that powerful scientific presentations can have in driving an academic career.
My journey to becoming a scientist at one of the most prestigious research institutions in the world (Empa in Switzerland) has relied heavily on my presenting skills. In this course, I will share with you the techniques that made this journey possible. I am sure the will help you as well.
You can find out more about my communication efforts in the about me section and about my research on my personal academic website.
