**How to give a good talk**
- I suggest you read three below papers before preparing your tak: 
--[How to tell a compelling story in scientific presentations](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-03603-2)
--[How to give a great scientific talk](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07780-5)
--[Prioritize the needs of the audience when giving a presentation](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06021-z)
