This channel and all of its contents has been so incredibly useful for my third year dissertation, it almost feels like a cheat!

[@jean-bosco729]

Thanks so much Andy for democratizing relevant tricks. Credit for that (A+)! - Signed, DBA candidate

[@aigerimmyktybayeva6597]

The best academic channel ever!

[@NERGYStudios]

It is not easy to keep people's attention for 5 minutes, let alone 40. Brilliant hands-on example.

[@Buchschlag]

I really like the way how you explain and share your knowledge to the audience. I wished I had in Germany more Professors like the way you are. Easy to follow because of a great framework and the art of teaching methods to easy understand challenging topics. What I missed so much was teaching and practicing methods and frameworks. That is something what people in Canada and USA are doing so much better then here in teaching in University.

[@user-ei3eg3rv6x]

40 minutes! What a great work! Love your content😊

[@SandroGraca]

This. Is. Awesome. 🤯 Thank you, Andy! 🙌 Shared on my socials - and told students (and colleagues!) to watch it too 😉

[@dibeos]

AWESOME! Every bit is extremely insightful and useful. Thank you for the video!

[@oluwatoyinakinrogunde]

Superb! I never regretted subscribing to your channel. You're really a life saver!

[@roy-ub7sy]

Amazing talk! Thank you🎉

[@kevyelyod1211]

This is the best channel on youtube

[@junaiduabubakar8501]

I have just done a proposal presentation today. Thank you for this I will use this to improve in the future.

[@kathychebet4518]

This was awesome!

[@62Deepblue]

Mutual respect, gradually earned by both sides

[@esterpasaribu]

thank you, this channel helps me so much

[@shawndraa.h1888]

Thank you for all that you share❤

[@jennidean6656]

brilliant! So glad a Uni finally embraced change

[@Nerd3927]

That was way more then 3 minutes! :-)

[@piecewisefunctioneer]

Have those three words. In this talk it seems to be "hello zoom people" 😂 Also for the usefulness of my research I'd like to add a quote by Henri Poincaire: "The mathematician does not study pure mathematics because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it's beautiful". One thing I would add, or I guess remove, from this quote is the word pure. All maths has its applications, the world only advanced because of mathematics, some people are just ahead of the curve.

[@CthulhusTales]

Superb. Just what I needed. Always love the content that you put out

[@DrAndyStapleton]

Glad to help!

[@DovidM]

Brilliant!

[@thatbossguy123]

This was amazing - thanks!

[@DrAndyStapleton]

You're very welcome!

[@MontyTomTom]

I seriously was waiting for you to light some Magician's paper :-) Loved the content, even without it, though!

[@HaydenHatTrick]

"Prince Andrew was in the audience, it was a presentation in Brisbane" Me: OMG, you were in Brisbane? (oh, and so was Prince Andrew too I guess)

[@vickylau4981]

One of your best videos and presentations about presenting (that you've presented) yet! And such timely motivation, being only a couple of weeks before my stage 3 😨 that's enough time to learn magic tricks and a miniature stringed gourd (well, the ukelele is old news, now, no?)! ** Faculty immediately signs off 'unsatisfactory' **

[@Jade-db1jx]

Trying to prepare for the next academic step by learning how to condense information and present it in a palatable way. When writing, I struggle with what I want to say and the sentences frequently end up being more words than I want them to be. I want to be efficient at this. Are there any excerises or more tips for taking concepts that have taken a paper a few paragraphs to say into a sentence or two? Thank you for sharing your experience and information with us!

[@spoke747]

Andy Your tips are great. I have a question, is it necessary to include a slide stating the agenda in a short presentation like this?

[@gayatricasey6618]

Three words thing 👌

[@bhydrated9829]

T o p ........N o t c hhhhhhhh symposium... Thank YOU for sharing technique

[@lucabonaccio]

I've just done a presentation today 😅😅😅

[@user-qb7wv6wk5l]

PIs stealing my ideas in the name of interview-how to solve this problem?

[@janvisagie231]

This 3 min thesis seems pretty common in Australia. I guess since they don't really do a defence in Aus. How can a PhDs body of work be worth only 3 minutes. Seems a waste.

[@valeriiaandreeva6812]

Chemist always draws potential energy surface😅

"my secret formula for 3 minute presentations" *uploads 41 minute video*

[@tes5033]

Are you allowed to say shit in Academia 😂 11:48

[@petermartin1666]

Here are a couple of tips for you Andy: when presenting, don’t blaspheme and don’t use vulgarity because your presentation will be memorable to some, for the wrong reasons.

[@DovidM]

The same applies for trashing scholars in your field. Let’s say that my presentation is essentially a rejection of Prof. B’s research on a certain topic. I might think that Prof. B was a hack or misguided but I will establish more trust if I leave personalities out of it, and simply focus on my research as having undermined the conclusions of Dr. B’s seminal paper.

45 minutes video about 3 minutes ? crap
