Audience

Consider your audience and how much technical knowledge they might have about your project. Plan your “take-away” message with your audience in mind.  What do you want to leave with them as a final thought?

Questions
  • What kinds of questions might they have?
  • How can you explain your methods to a non-specialist?
  • What terminology will you need to define?
  • How can you explain the importance of your work to a non-specialist?
