Hi! This is great content, thanks for making it. I’ve got a question regarding talking in front of an audience and making eye contact. I often see my audience focusing on the slides rather than me when I’m giving scientific talks to scientists for example. I find it distracting because sometimes I see people shaking their heads or looking bored. When someone does reciprocate eye contact I get flustered... so I resolve by looking in between people. Do you have any tips on how to stay focused and reduce my own emotional reaction from trying to make eye contact? Does it happen to other people or is it just me ?!
This is so useful, I’m giving a presentation to over 1000 students in November (fingers crossed) so this is brilliant!
Great series mate. Hoping you eventually find the time to prioritise producing a sequel to this series

"Anyone interested into science communication." I hope no flat earther or any other oddball comes across this.
