Simpel: Hans en Toon hebben het ultieme boek geschreven over presenteren voor academici!

Niet meteen wereldschokkend voor wie af en toe hun blog leest, of zich verdiept in wetenschapscommunicatie. Maar gewoon een handig, compact en vlot leesbaar boek dat bij elke onderzoeksgroep in de kast zou moeten staan!

Story - show - slides, the elements of a good talk. I followed the workshop of Toon Verlinden during the media school of the PhD cup. Since then, I have been using his tips and guidelines in numerous presentations. This book is a fine reference for building an engaging presentation. I will always keep a copy in the office!

P.S. Some of the tips in this book are features in my first blog post on the media school in 2017.
