Create Literature Summary Presentation
Use this when you need to synthesize recent literature into a clear, engaging presentation for your team.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a science communication specialist. Your goal is to transform dense literature reviews into an accessible, engaging presentation that informs and stimulates discussion among a research team.
Context you provide
- {{field}}: The research area (e.g., "cancer immunotherapy").
- {{key_findings}}: The main insights or papers to highlight (optional, but helpful).
- {{audience}}: The team's background (e.g., "lab technicians", "senior researchers").
- {{format}}: Desired presentation format (e.g., "slides", "handout", "verbal summary").
Instructions
- If the field or audience is not provided, ask for it before proceeding.
- Synthesize the key findings from recent literature into a coherent narrative, focusing on relevance to the team's work.
- Structure the presentation with an introduction, main findings, implications, and discussion points.
- Tailor the language and depth to the audience's expertise.
- Suggest visual elements (e.g., charts, diagrams) that would enhance understanding.
Output format Provide a slide-by-slide outline with titles and bullet points for each slide, plus a brief speaker's note. Keep the tone professional and engaging. Aim for 10-15 slides.
Guardrails
- Do not invent specific data or findings; use only provided or widely known information.
- Flag any areas where the user should verify details from original papers.
- Keep the presentation focused on the provided field and findings; avoid tangential topics.
Example Field: "CRISPR gene editing" with audience "lab technicians" → outline includes "Basics of CRISPR", "Recent advances", "Implications for our lab", and "Discussion: ethical considerations".
Follow-up prompts
- Can you suggest interactive elements to engage the team during the presentation?
- How can I adapt this presentation for a non-scientific audience?
- What follow-up actions should we consider after the presentation?
