Being a Professional Scientist
Being a scientist is more than just performing experiments. Sometimes designing and performing experiments are the easiest parts of being a scientist. Telling others about your findings in the right format is at times, more challenging. Presenting data is an integral part of being a scientist so knowing how to present is rather essential.
Below are resources designed to assist you. Ultimately you will find your own voice but it never hurts to have a few examples to initially guide.
