Abstract
In our presentation workshops for scientists and engineers that we give around the world, the most commonly asked question about the structure of presentations is, How much depth should the speaker go into? Although the simple answer to the question is, whatever depth the audience needs or desires, determining this depth is not easy. Moreover, in a presentation to multiple audiences, the difficulty in determining this depth increases several fold.
