Presentation Guidelines

Please don't put too much details in slides. Audience usually won't be able to absorb complex information in a short time. Make sure you cover the important points and essential information. Conclusions and broad flows are often more useful to audience than the details of every fields of a protocol. If appropriate, graphs and charts are better than text. You can borrow figures from the original paper, its presentations or if necessary, create it by your own. Make sure they are readable.
