OBJECTIVES
LEARNING GOALS
Understanding your audience is essential to creating effective presentations.
Practicing your presentation is important for effective delivery.
A presentation can be powerful and effective with minimal use of slides.
Telling a story increases the effectiveness of research presentations.
Common practice in communication is not always best practice.
Outreach activities, like engaging with public audiences, are ways to improve communication skills.
NANO CONTENT MAP
Nanometer-sized things are very small, and often behave differently than larger things do.
Scientists and engineers have formed the interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology by investigating properties and manipulating matter at the nanoscale.
Nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanoengineering lead to new knowledge and innovations that weren't possible before.
Nanotechnologies—and their costs, utility, risks, and benefits—are closely interconnected with society and with our values.
