In everyday life, work, and science projects, people generally don’t like to talk about risk. There is a perception that talking about risk will stop something from happening (e.g. a project).

A scientific presentation is a great way to get exposure for your science because while you are speaking, you and your science are the centre of attention.

For your science to have an impact, it needs to be accessible to as many people as possible.

The old adage, ‘you’ve got to be in it to win it’ applies to awards in science just as much as it does in any other context.

There are more elements to a presentation than just what goes on PowerPoint slides and what you say.

The first step in project risk planning and management is identifying what the potential positive and negative risks are for your project and capturing these in the risk register.
