    Her breath control is impressive 👏🏽
  • @IndraD
    Her voice is crystal clear and she didn't use any filler words at all. Truly deserving the award she got.

    This scientist respects my time more than I do.

    Me with a single slide of presentation. Teacher: What the hell is this?
  • She's very impressive, not only did she summarized her own research in 3 minutes that took a lot of time, days, months and even a year, rhe way she spoke was very clear, brief and concise. Simple in terms yet it gives a big impact to audience and listeners. She explained it very straighforwardly, direct, without any stutters or mistakes. I'm in awe.

    No idea why this showed up in my feed 8 years later, but I was still impressed. She must be a Doctor by now and saving lives through her research.
  • @CristianSerran0
    Mindblowing how she even had time to kickstart things off with a joke. Hats off.
  • @garyh8665
    The key to this was she obviously did this speech dozens of times to control her breathing and get the timing right. The breath control and no filler words is so impressive.
  • @LukeBrady
    She accomplished more in 3 minutes than I will accomplish in my entire life.
  • Just imagine how many demos she has given before presenting here
  • @ahnafatef6729
    Everyone: “Excellent presentation!” Me: “Excellent preparation!”
  • She knows her own thesis so well, and had her presentation so well rehearsed... she nailed it!!!
  • She didn't even give me time to think and wander around in my thoughts. Her presentation kept me hooked throughout. I found it interesting and understood it mostly even though I am not into this field. Thats very impressive. I wish to be concise and straight forward like her.

    And here I am am preparing my physics presentation using graphs and thor for voltage jokes 😂
  • @AbWischBar
    She has the confidence of somebody who had a really successful research outcome, with a brilliant, "simple" idea. The best way is to present this great idea just as simple. Well done.

    I remember my undergrad thesis. I must've spoken more than 10,000 words but I don't think I have explained my study as clearly as this woman.
