Here's an idea that can help you to make your material easier to remember for both you and your audience.
When you are doing your research take the time to create mental pictures of what is being discussed whenever possible. Take the time, whether your are reading research material or conducting an interview with some expert, to savor what they are describing -- turning their description into your own private mental video as much as possible, complete with how something smells, looks, feels, sounds, or tastes.
This will not only make everything you have learned much more memorable to you because your brain remembers pictures and images much easier than dry words, but it will also help you to recreate those images and pictures for your audience -- helping them to remember the important ideas in your presentation much easier as well.
P.S. As a side benefit, stopping to recreate your own sensory pictures of what that expert is telling you or you are learning from other research will help you to avoid any accusations of plagiarism as these mental pictures will help you to phrase things in your unique way.
