Question: Describe more of how you present your data in another way?

Presenting data is (arguably) the most important part of science. We have a number of ways of doing it. Let’s say I’ve done a study (I just have, as it happens). At the moment I’m looking through my data to see if what I predicted is really true. As part of this, I share my data with the people I work with, so that they know what it looks like and to make sure I haven’t made a mistake. Once we’ve done that, we’ll probably present the data at a scientific meeting somewhere (this is best done somewhere interesting. Last time we presented results in Seattle, and the time before that in New Orleans). At these meetings other scientists can ask questions and make doubly sure we’ve analysed the data properly. When that’s done, we’ll write a paper explaining our data as fully as possible and try and get it published somewhere. My work usually gets published in places like the Journal of Applied Physiology, or Experimental Physiology, and that’s where the data are finally presented. This whole process (from when I first came up with the idea to publishing the paper) will take 2-3 years!
