'Effective scientific communication is more important than ever. This slight volume is by no means slight in content. While consideration is given to the material content of the presentation, the primary focus is on the qualities that make a presentation stand out to its audience and how presenters can set both themselves and their audiences at ease. … Presentation Skills for Scientists is a brilliant pedagogical tool to help students improve their presentation skills, whether novice or advanced. It contains guidance and strategies that transcend the sciences.' J. Clemons, Choice
