>If you’re presenting, leave more time for questions than you’re supposed to. My personal corollary to that: when you're preparing a talk, focus less on trying to get all your findings across and more on what questions you want the audience to ask you. The least interesting talks are those that are unfocused and overwhelm the audience with a firehose of information. The most engaging talks are those that guide the audience to ask interesting questions.
