How much time is wasted by research presenters telling us:
1. What they intend to present.
2. What they have just presented.

When persuading the RCSI Pharmacy student to complete her project in University of Santiago de Compostela, did I say how beautiful the city would be?
Yes

Did I "forget" to tell her that she would spend part of her first week on a farm, collecting faecal samples from scouring calves
Also Yes.
