I think the best way is 3-5 word bullet points, but mostly talking about tables/charts/figures. If you've truly done the research yourself, you can easily explain what is behind every chart.



Really depends on the content. If I'm being presented with a mathematical theorem, for instance, I'd like to read the exact statement at my leisure while the speaker reads it and then talks about it. Structuring derivations can also be tricky (omit too many technical details and risk losing the interesting part of the work). Charts are fine, but for an audience of scientists the methodology behind the result is often more interesting than the result.
