* Notes from lab meeting practice run ** DONE Mechanical issues - [X] Blurry slide changes - Solution: use Acrobat for presenting - [X] Use widescreen aspect ratio -- option to show 2 figures side by side - [X] Header is hard to read/easy to ignore because of color scheme. Consider dark text on white bg instead. - [X] No figure numbers - [X] No chapter numbers, just "3 parts" - [X] Way to display speaker notes alongside slides? Maybe import into PPT? - https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#speaker-notes ** TODO Presentation issues - [ ] Bigger axis labels - [ ] Better cluster ordering, labeling, and transpose violin plots for consistency - [ ] Whenever possible: micro first to introduce the plot, then macro to show the full plot - [ ] For PCoA plots, show just one donor at a time first to show the trend in a simpler context ** TODO Content issues - [ ] Maybe show more preprocessing, batch correction, etc. - [ ] Tie conclusions back to intro, add future directions - [ ] Don't say "too complicated to explain" - [ ] Intro slide for MOFA: how and why - [ ] Too many bullet points. Don't need to write everything I say. Move to speaker notes. - [ ] Intro the histone marks and why we picked them - [ ] Brief 30 second intro to RNA-seq & ChIP-seq - [ ] Rephrase 3 topics as questions/hypotheses - [ ] Talk about 3 main take-home points at the beginning as well as the end - [ ] Keep reserve slides at the end with cut figures in case they come in handy for answering audience questions - [ ] On summary slides, bullets on left, image on right for each bullet - [ ] Time was around 40 minutes, so add at least 5 minutes of content * Useful links - https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#speaker-notes
