<span style="">Strong oral presentation skills are a key to success for engineers, scientists, and other professionals, yet many speakers are at a loss to tackle the task. Systematic as they otherwise can be in their work, they go at it intuitively, sometimes
haphazardly, with much good will but seldom good results. Based on Dr. Doumont’s book<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Trees, maps, and theorems,</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>about “effective communication for rational minds”

Papers are one of the few deliverables of the work of researchers. Well-designed, they efficiently allow each reader to learn only what he or she needs to. Poorly designed, by contrast, they confuse readers, fail to prompt decisions, or remain unread. Based
on Dr. Doumont's book<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>Trees, maps, and theorems</em>, about effective communication for rational minds, the lecture shows how to structure scientific papers, theses, and technical reports effectively at all levels
to get the readers' attention, facilitate navigation, and, in this way, get the message across optimally. Dr. Doumont holds an engineering degree from the Louvain School of Engineering and a PhD in applied physics from Stanford. He specializes in professional
speaking, writing, and graphing, and incorporates a unique engineering perspective. More at <a href="http://www.principiae.be/" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">www.principiae.be</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>
