turn your audience into your champions: ignite curiosity 🔥 scaffold understanding ✔ maximize impact 🚀. The PresentBetter Program for lab research groups & academic institutes -now over 7,000 researchers served.

Every piece of research, when effectively communicated, can spark change. 

In academia. In careers. In society.

But too often, important findings remain hidden, their potential unrealized. 
The importance/impact of research gets:
●	Buried under layers of complexity
●	Communicated without connecting
●	Overwhelmed by scientific terms and processes

This is why I created PresentBetter: 
To transform how your researchers share their ideas with the world. 
Together we distill years of complex study into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with and inspire audiences.
By amplifying researcher’s voices, we elevate the ability to communicate research in ways that:
●	Moves people
●	Propels careers forward
●	Bridges the gap between academia and society

Through PresentBetter.org, I offer tailored solutions to meet diverse needs:
1.	Individual Coaching: One-on-one sessions crafted for your specific presentation challenges.
2.	Lab and Department Workshops: Small group training to elevate your entire team's communication skills.
3.	Institutional Programs: Comprehensive, scalable solutions for universities and research institutions.
4.	Conference and Event Preparation: Targeted coaching for high-stakes presentations that can define careers.
5.	Online Courses: Self-paced learning for researchers seeking flexibility.

We aim to create a future where every researcher's voice resonates with clarity and impact.

Co-Founder

I work with individuals and organizations to help researchers present better. I start with helping them find their story and then coach them to deliver it in the most effective way.  Since Covid, my work has focused around helping people navigate the shifts to presenting online: 
👉 your voice (tone, pace, volume, pausing) remains your most important tool, and embracing the attitudes and feeling you want to convey is your most critical skill.
👉 stories still rule: tech interaction tricks are useful, but don't get sucked too far down that rabbit hole because stories are still the most effective driver of deep engagement, learning and memory.
👉 understand the impact of body language: while it has become less impactful on the audience, it still influences your own confidence and energy.
👉 the movement of visuals in person competes with your ability to engage your audience, but online, that same movement helps capture and retain attention: adjust accordingly.

PhD defenses have it completely backwards!
You spend 4-7 years researching something nobody else knows about.
You become THE expert on your tiny corner of knowledge.
You know more about your research than anyone else in that room.
You're the expert. They're the students.
So why are YOU on defense?

Are AI Tools Replacing Scientific Writing? 
Here's what some leading scientists have to say ⤵
Repost & Save (with 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘦.𝘮𝘦)

— Tools like ChatGPT are good helpers
(but poor creators)
— AI can speed up writing 
(but it's not ready to take over scientific thinking).
— The real question isn't if we should use AI...
... but how to use it wisely!


𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 ⤵

𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲
— Helps break through writer's block
— Makes helpful suggestions for titles & abstracts
— Supports non-native English speakers with clear writing

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 & 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀
— Breaks complex topics into manageable pieces
— Spots relevant papers you might have missed
— Helps organize thoughts & arguments

𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬

— AI can't do deep analysis or generate true insights
— Risk of shallow, cookie-cutter science writing
— Tools might generate false references or incorrect info
— Over-reliance could hurt students' learning

Not all lit reviews are built the same. 
Picking the right one saves TONS of time.
Here's a simple guide to choose the right type ⤵️ 

𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 
— Perfect for clinical questions 
— But requires 6-12 months & strict protocols 
Worth it? Only if you need highest evidence level

𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮-𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀
— Great for combining study results 
— Needs similar studies to work 
Warning: Garbage in = garbage out

𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 
— My favorite for new research areas 
— Quick overview of what exists 
Better for mapping gaps than deep answers

𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 
— Fast to write (2-3 months) 
— Good for theory building 
BUT harder to publish in top journals

Pro tip: Match the review type to your research goal
NOT what looks easiest!

Stop highlighting papers mindlessly. Do this instead ⤵️ 
(Repost if you find it useful)

— Feynman Method: Explain complex studies to your non-academic friends. If they get it, you've mastered it

— Mind Mapping: Your brain processes visuals 60,000x faster than text

— Cornell Method: Take notes in 2 columns - facts & questions.

— Active Recall: Close your laptop. Write everything you remember 

— Spaced Repetition: Review papers at specific intervals (24h, 72h, 1 week)

Small changes. Major impact on my research output.
