Notes
Outline
Creating Scientific Slides
Before and After Analysis
Slide Analysis:
First Pass: all at once
A title and/or takeaway for each
Guide eyes to important stuff
Mixture of text and images
Type must be large enough to seen easily
Consistency is a must
Use sans serif font
Limit colors or fonts (3-5)
Should use an appropriate background
Mechanical Review
Pass two: one at a time
No more than 2-3 major points  (1-2)
Take out sentences and replace with key words and phrases
Remove all punctuation
Don’t use italics for main point
NEVER USE ALL CAPITALS
Take out slides you can live without
Use colors appropriately
Make your point in 7-second rule
Slide 4
Summary:
Clumping of S. aureus is dependent on both  bacterial concentration and fibrinogen concentration
Clumping is mediated largely by clumping factor A (clfA)
Clumping decreases the effectiveness of PLA2 as an antibacterial agent but PLA2 is still active at physiological levels

 Expression Cloning and Characterization
 of PHISH
Are there novel 3’PPI binding proteins?
What roles in regulating cellular signaling?
Are they involved in the pathogenesis of cancer?
Graphs and Charts
Requires well thought-out title (not figure text)
Requires text takeaway(s)
Must highlight where to look  - color?
Should be reduced to pertinent data
If a multiple points consider a build layout carefully
Simple readable labels
Needs to be error free- double check
Require introduction
