Simplifying Information 

Tara: How is your presentation coming along? 

Stan: It’s okay, but I’m having trouble simplifying some of the key concepts without dumbing them down too much. 

Tara: I think your instincts are right. You’ll be presenting to non- specialists, so it’s important to keep your presentation clear and simple. 

Stan: That’s my problem. How do I capture the essence of all of this information without making it too simplistic? 

Tara: My rule of thumb is to think about which concepts really jump out at me when I think about the topic and identify any patterns in the information. Then, I build my presentations around those things. 

Stan: That’s a good idea. 

Tara: I would also find a non-specialist and do a run-through and get his or her feedback. That’s the best way to know if you’ve nailed it. 

Stan: That’s another good idea. What do I owe you for all of this good advice? 

Tara: There’s a new restaurant across the street I’ve been meaning to try for lunch... 

Stan: Say no more. Lunch is on me. 

Tara: Really? Let’s go right now before you change your mind!
