Reading for discussion #4: How to give a scientific talk
20.416 / 7.74 students,
We have posted some reading for discussion on Wednesday regarding advice on how to give a scientific talk. Please read the article by Uri Alon and look through the advice provided by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund (this document is long so you may not want to print it out, but it is quick to go through).
See you on Wednesday.
