   * **Make an outline before you start to create slides** - This one is hard to follow! But it saves time if you can, and probably makes the presentation clearer.
   * **WHO IS  YOUR AUDIENCE?** - It doesn't matter how much you prepare if you miscalculate your audience.
-  * **Practice, practice, practice** - Did you think you could just create the slides and then get up there and do a killer presentation? Well, you're wrong! Run through your slide deck several times and do your presentation **the way you plan to do it**, polishing and pruning each time.

   * **Begin with an outline** - What is the structure of your presentation? If it's a 6-minute presentation you don't really need to give an outline, but I want you to do so anyway.

   * **Summarize what you said** - Give a short summary of what your contributions are. (When you have only 6 minutes you may skip this step.)
   * **Describe the potential impact** - Why do your results matter? In what way will the world be different due to your work? Don't exaggerate, but don't be afraid to think far into the future -- the distant future in which direction your results point.
