It is now widely recognised that professional presentation skills
are an indispensable cornerstone of a successful scientific career.
This updated second edition provides a concise and accessible guide
to preparing and delivering scientific presentations. Its highly
practical 'how-to' style focuses on the issues that are of
immediate concern to the busy scientist. The text covers all of the
important aspects of scientific presentations, including knowing
your audience, producing visual material, controlling nerves and
handling questions. It also includes advice on presenting in
English for non-native speakers, helping them to improve the
clarity and effectiveness of their presentations. Links are
included throughout the text to the accompanying website, which
contains annotated video clips of speakers delivering a talk and
demonstrates the common problems encountered, as well as exercises
designed to overcome them. It also contains image files to
demonstrate the design issues to consider when creating visual
material.
In 2014, California suffered the largest and deadliest outbreak of
pertussis, also known as whooping cough," in more than fifty years.
This tragedy was avoidable. An effective vaccine has been available
since the 1940s. In recent years other diseases, like measles and
mumps, have also made a comeback. The reason for these epidemics
can be traced to a group whose vocal proponents insist, despite
evidence to the contrary, that vaccines are poison. As a
consequence, parents and caretakers are rejecting vaccines for
themselves and their families.In Deadly Choices ,
infectious-disease expert Paul Offit takes a look behind the
curtain of the anti-vaccine movement. What he finds is a reminder
of the power of scientific knowledge, and the harm we risk if we
ignore it.

Hailed by The New York Times Book Review as "...nothing less than a major contribution to the scientific culture of this world," this major survey features the work of 18 outstanding mathematicians. Primary subjects include analytic geometry, algebra, ordinary and partial differential equations, the calculus of variations, functions of a complex variable, prime numbers, and theories of probability and functions. Other topics include linear and non-Euclidean geometry, topology, functional analysis, more. 1963 ed.
Scientists in the laboratory often fail to take advantage of the commercial exploitation of their research. Technology Transfer is a careful account of how to start the process of commercialization of technology, and describes in detail the difficulties, and amount of time needed, to carry the process through to a successful conclusion. This book provides a much needed step-by-step guide to the commercialization of research. It addresses three major themes: how to protect your intellectual property; how to develop it commercially via licensing and business "start up"; and how to finance and manage your new company. This book is essential reading for any research scientist whose work has commercial applications.
In this landmark book, Robert O. Becker, M.D., a pioneer in the field of bioelectric science, presents a fascinating look at the role electricity plays in healing, challenging the traditional mechanistic model of the body. Colorful and controversial, this is a tale of engrossing research, scientific and medical politics, and breakthrough discoveries that offer new possibilities for fighting disease and harnessing the body's healing powers.
