This is session 3 of the Awesome Presentations Workshop. You can watch the video for session 2 (developing the story) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC1glujAhZI The purpose of a slide is to illustrate an important point in the story. Without a clear story it's impossible to create an effective slide. Once you know what you want to say, notice all the things in your slide and ask why.

A presentation is not about !saying what you did, it is about helping others remember it.!Your job as a presenter is to !connect the facts and provide insights. Tell stories that give context and make indifferent people teachable. Motivate your audience to act.

He starts by building the slides.

Results!•  Trained models can

accurately discriminate between regions in peak and regions in flanks

•  Observed that DNase I

hypersensitivity is useful for discriminating ….?

•  Identified relevant k-mers that can be used to obtain a generalized binding motif

BENEFITS OF FIBER: GATHER LIGHT �•  ALLOW LIGHT FROM DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE SAME INSTRUMENT.

•  SIMULTANEOUS OBSERVATION OF LARGE NUMBER OF TARGET OBJECTS (FIBER BUNDLES): MULTI-OBJECT SPECTROSCOPY (MOS).

•  CLASSICALLY (HOLES/SLITS): TELESCOPE (FIELD OF VIEW: 0.5~A FEW DEGREES) VS SPECTROGRAPH (FIELD OF VIEW: A FEW ARC MINUTES) =>LIMITED OBSERVATION AT ANY GIVEN TIME => SMALL NUMBER STATISTICS/SMALL SAMPLE (STUDY OF DYNAMIC PROCESS OF CLUSTERS/GALAXIES REQUIRES AT LEAST 100~1000 OBJECTS SIMULTANEOUSLY);

•  FAINT OBJECTS: TAKE HOURS TO BUILD UP ENOUGH SIGNAL IN THE SPECTRUM. (~10 PHOTONS/HR)

•  SOLUTION: LARGE NUMBER OF FIBERS, EACH INPUT END PLACED AT THE FOCAL SURFACE POSITION CORRESPONDING TO THE LOCATION OF THE IMAGED TARGET; EACH OUTPUT LINED UP ALONG THE SPECTROGRAPH SLIT.

•  DATA COLLECTION NOW RESTRICTED BY TELESCOPE FIELD OF VIEW, # OF FIBERS, SIZE OF DETECTOR.�

Page 53: Creating effective slides without having to become a graphic designer

BENEFITS OF FIBER: GATHER LIGHT �

•  HUNDREDS OF TARGETS VS JUST ONE; A GROUP IN CHINA: 4-M TELESCOPE, 5° FIELD OF VIEW, 4000 FIBERS.

•  EXAMPLE OF NEW RESEARCH: HEXABUNDLES

•  EASY TO PRODUCE, SIMPLE TO INSTALL;

•  SUPER-WIDE FIELD, ADAPTIVE TO SEEING;

•  LESS SENSITIVE TO BLURRING (SEEING);

•  LESS SENSITIVE TO SOURCE ASYMMETRY.
