  • Overused clichés and redundancies detract from the precision required for effective scientific discourse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for improved oral communication practices in scientific and medical contexts.
  • To highlight the negative impact of poor speaking habits on audience engagement and speaker fulfillment.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of common communication pitfalls in scientific meetings and hospital rounds.
  • Emphasis on principles of clear, concise, and audible speech delivery.

Main Results:
