正参考的20分钟科学报告提纲:- w+ Y: Z* L& {) u( w
1. Title/author/affiliation (1 slide)
: O6 q. y/ F5 _4 ^1 V/ v: W 2. Forecast (1 slide): Give gist of problem attacked and insight found (What is the one idea you want people to leave with? This is the "abstract" of an oral presentation.)
3 M- M0 e2 g7 \ 3. Outline (1 slide): Give talk structure. Some speakers prefer to put this at the bottom of their title slide. (Audiences like predictability.). w% y$ N" Y5 b
4. Background

4-2. Related Work (0-1 slides): Cover superficially or omit; refer people to your paper.
" H: s; c0 c8 L/ b0 B5 l& \& }+ B 4-3. Methods (1 slide): Cover quickly in short talks; refer people to your paper.$ n) G. ]$ \& H0 W- \% j2 V
5. Results (4-6 slides): Present key results and key insights. This is main body of the talk. Its internal structure varies greatly as a function of the researcher's contribution. (Do not superficially cover all results; cover key result well. Do not just present numbers; interpret them to give insights. Do not put up large tables of numbers.)

7. Future Work (0-1 slides):Optionally give problems this research opens up.
8 q$ X* d* x# N6 m1 I( j 8. Backup Slides (0-3 slides): Optionally have a few slides ready (not counted in your talk total) to answer expected questions. (Likely question areas: ideas glossed over, shortcomings of methods or results, and future work.)

首先,引用 A PhD is not enough 中的话:
& h; T" ?+ E0 x4 eAs the speaker you are putting on a one-man show. Your listeners are investigating an hour of their valuable time... They expect to hear a good story, with a beginning, a middle and an end...% ?6 c% g5 i! }! b# z; ]
... Never over-estimate your audience...! @4 @ m4 E) P
是的,要讲一个“故事”,因为大家都喜欢听故事,无厘头在这里就不靠谱了。而且要尽量讲得简单易懂,化繁为简,林老师也说“如果学术报告能够让老妈也能听懂,就是成功”(据说是 Don Forsyth 的名言)。

7 K8 l K* ]8 @& j' |+ a几点我觉得比较重要的改变包括:
8 r, y$ b @- f$ ha. 删除 Forcast & Outline,这是为了更快的进入“故事”;其实所有与故事无关的都应当删去。! T/ p) o% G8 U
b. 缩减 Background,删减后的这个部分只有一张slide,只包括“故事”中必须要用到的概念。
+ V3 X: q8 V7 tc. 增加 Hypothesis,这个部分有点像文章的 Introduction,与最后的Conclusion对应,介绍这个研究的科学问题。
( r* h( C: s' L& Ad. 加大 Results 的份额,这个就不用多说了吧。“讲故事”就在这里。当然了,我发现真正在准备的时候还是很费时的,因为要注意顺序问题,怎样能一张一张有逻辑的将故事说圆了,让大家都没有疑惑。) g& W* H' |7 a3 ?3 ~! _9 i
7 r1 ^% D- ?5 |$ o$ ^$ v(3)讲故事7 N2 r( S+ H* W* l
也就是 Results 部分,也是报告真正的核心内容。与写文章不同的是,因为时间限制,细节问题不需要讨论;这样才能将重要的内容凸显出来。图多字少不用公式也是给短报告的一个原则。6 E6 K! w: J3 B4 d N. p
2 ?) `! K6 A2 I$ J& E: a(4)风格
3 ~8 G! }+ D0 t5 Y我的第一个版本的每一张 Slide 都包括了进度条和姓名时间,后来在林老师的建议下删掉了。这是因为要“努力使听众集中注意力听故事”。& h. V! O P/ X- C& C4 n: b
同样,制作 PPT 还有很多细节问题,有些关乎个人风格。目标当然是要显得“Professional”了。下面是林老师在帮我修改 PPT 时的一些建议,在这里与大家分享一下:* _+ d0 j1 c$ G8 M( t4 U v3 t
a. 字体: Aria narrow.
' I4 C T% w B 字体大小: title 32, subtitle 28 etc., not smaller than 187 c" _, X3 F& A/ Q: i2 P' [
b.深色底色加上浅色(比如白&黄色)的字

因为图片在报告的重要性,PPT 中的每一张图都要重新画过,推荐用 png 格式。我用 AI 将 pdf 转成 png 格式,同时要注意分辨率,字体大小的问题。下面链接是个很详细的说明:& W: T+ p) x5 l+ U |2 T& Z
