NOTE: There is no talking in this video! That is intentional. This was a video intro I put together to open up a discussion session on best practices for PowerPoint in an age of PPT fatigue -- how to make them more engaging and more interactive. It is only 2.5 minutes long ...

Hello to all the new people! 👋

Just a quick #introduction as you're looking for people to connect with.

I'm a PhD who went the #AltAc (non-academic) path.

At first I was a research associate at a nonprofit #research and #evaluation center.

But, due to my love for #scicomm + #dataviz, I quit and formed my own professional development co.

I now help #academia (well...anyone, really) create engaging, accessible talks and lectures.

Follow me for #PresentationSkills tips 🦄🌈✨

Stealing this from Facebook, cause it's that good 🤣 #freud #careerAdvice #ECR #presentationSkills

Easy peasy tip to improve your slides right now:

🛑 Stop using 4:3 slide size
✅ Start using 16:9 slide size

4:3 slides are so outdated, they make it look like your -info- hasn't been updated since 2008.

Update your slide size ➡️ breathe new life into your slides instantly!

Spread the word, #Academia!

Saturday #PublicSpeaking tip for academics:

Combine your love for #Caturday with the slides you're working on right now.

Unless it's a job talk, you can find a way to add a cat photo to just about any talk or lecture. 😸

That's right. I'm a professional phd presentation coach, and I'm confirming that cat pics are a crowd pleaser.

10/10 recommend.

@AerodDr for accessibility reasons, written material is super important to give people and have available.

...But... I recommend against giving the actual slides for a few reasons that I can't fit in a mastodon post 😂

I did make a video about creating handouts though, that shares tips + scratches the surface on some of those reasons I recommend not giving the slides.

If it's helpful, here's that video link: https://youtu.be/z3A79BQKOZM

New handle, new #introduction!

Hi 👋 I'm Dr. Echo Rivera!

🎓 #FirstGen: got my PhD in Community Psychology,

👩‍💻 then worked as a research associate at non-profit evaluation center for 3 yrs.

😖 Didn't like it 🙅 Quit.

🦄 Founded professional development co

Now I'm trying to end #DeathbyPowerpoint in #academia + research to make it more accessible & inclusive!

🤝 Let's connect!

#Academia #AltAc #SciComm #AcademicChatter #Phd #PresentationSkills

@phdstudents @academicchatter @academicsunite

I haven't illustrated for a really long time.Testing out a new workflow and drawing style.

What better first image to share than me saying the #1 #PresentationSkills tip I have to share:

📣 #DeathByPowerpoint is not actually PowerPoint's fault.

If you want to create visually engaging presentations, the solution isn't to look for a new app.

You're just as likely to create bad slides in Canva, Prezi, or Google slides. 👏

PPT is actually a great tool...If you use it right. 😉😁

#Academia

I've seen some folks do a #FollowFriday for themselves. I'll join in:

I'd love to connect with folks in #Academia #PhdChat #WomenInSTEM + who do #SciComm

I went the #AltAc route (nonprofit research/ #Eval center) for a bit before starting my own professional development co for #PresentationSkills.

#Entrepreneur connections welcome!

I'm #AntiCapitalist and work to live (not live to work).

Am learning to play #Piano, I listen to #MetalMusic

I love #Dogs & have a Borador 🥰

Let's connect!

I was going to post more #PresentationSkills advice this week, but it was kind of a whirlwind.

Instead I offer you a picture of my handsome boy, Sage.

He often steals glances at himself in the mirror, and is always quite pleased with what he sees.

Is there a hashtag for us to share our pets?

#AcademicDogs #DogsOfMastodon #DogsOfAcademia

One thing I'm really hoping to do here is small scale, 1:1 networking.

So, I'll do an open call 📣

If you have a podcast or YouTube channel & you're looking for a guest to interview...

... maybe that's me 👋

I'm Dr. Echo Rivera, a professional presentation/public speaking skills coach and trainer.

If you think your audience would be interested in #SciComm, #PresentationSkills, #PublicSpesking skills, or #AltAc lemme know!
