2. Visual Content: Presentations should be legible and aesthetically balanced, featuring high-quality figures and a logical flow that guides the viewer through the research.
3. Delivery: We value clarity, engagement with the audience, strict adherence to timing, and the ability to provide effective, insightful responses during the Q&A.
