  3. Tips for Your Talk: Content • Start with the big picture • What is your question? • Why is it interesting? • Discuss your approach • Did you examine the literature? • Did you do a study? • Tell what you learned • How does your research speak to the question? • What new questions arise from your research?

  4. Tips for Your Slides Do • Use sans serif font • Use large (24+ pt) font • Use only a few slides • Keep slides simple Don’t • Use multiple fonts • Use sound effects or fly-ins • USE ALL CAPS • Crowd your slides with lots and lots of extraneous, wordy information that is difficult to read quickly
