Microbial Sciences Initiative. The goal of the talk was to provoke an informal
discussion among a small group of graduate students about a current paper in the
field of microbiology. Naveen avoided bullet points, which he says are frequently
overused in technical talks. He made several original diagrams, rather than just
copying figures from other papers, as many presentations do. Also different from
many presentations is the lack of an explicit Introduction, Outline, and Conclusion
slide, which Naveen says he makes clear through the context. The key slide
provides a visual summary of all the techniques, which are elaborated on in the
remainder of the presentation. “I made sure that the slides complemented, rather
than repeated, what I was saying to the audience,” Naveen said.
