Academic presentations are PR. Per Gemini

Here's a breakdown of the key differences between an academic presentation and a press release:
Academic Presentation:

* Purpose: To inform and persuade a specific audience (usually fellow academics) about research findings, methodologies, and their significance within a particular field.
* Audience: Primarily researchers, scholars, and students within the same discipline.
* Focus:
* Depth of detail: Provides in-depth analysis, data, and evidence.
* Technicality: Often uses specialized jargon and complex terminology.
* Methodology: Emphasizes the research methods used and their validity.
* Style: Formal, objective, and precise.
* Delivery: Typically involves presentations with visuals (slides, graphs) and may include question-and-answer sessions.
Press Release:
* Purpose: To announce news or information to the general public or specific media outlets.
* Audience: Journalists, the general public, and other interested parties.
* Focus:
* Newsworthiness: Highlights the most important and interesting aspects of the research.
* Clarity and conciseness: Uses simple language and avoids jargon.
* Impact: Emphasizes the broader implications and potential impact of the research.
* Style: Concise, engaging, and newsworthy.
* Delivery: Distributed to media outlets (newspapers, magazines, online publications) and may be published on the organization's website.
Here's an analogy:
* Academic Presentation: Like a detailed scientific paper, focusing on intricate details and methodology.
* Press Release: Like a newspaper article summarizing the key findings for a broader audience in an easy-to-understand way.
Key Differences Summarized:
* Academic presentations delve deep into research for a specialized audience.
* Press releases translate research findings into a concise and engaging format for a broader audience.
Note: In some cases, researchers may adapt their academic findings for a press release to share their work with a wider public.

The word above “may” doesn’t mean must. Press Releases inform the public and in our case are used against the company by the 7 market makers who you work for. As a long, in this case I’m fine with not having a press release that will be used against the company. I trust LP’s strategic decision on how to submit to the FDA. The key word is strategic which is not always PR’D.
