Notes from lab meeting practice run
DONE Mechanical issues
-
Blurry slide changes
-
Solution: use Acrobat for presenting
-
-
Use widescreen aspect ratio – option to show 2 figures side by side
-
Header is hard to read/easy to ignore because of color scheme. Consider dark text on white bg instead.
-
No figure numbers
-
No chapter numbers, just "3 parts"
-
Way to display speaker notes alongside slides? Maybe import into PPT?
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
