Apresentation is not about ! sayingwhatyoudid,itisabout helpingothersrememberit.! Your job as a presenter is to! connectthefactsandprovide insights. Tell stories that give context and make indifferent people teachable. Motivate your audience to act.

He knows he has ! to give a presentation.

He starts by building the slides.

The best ! presentation he ! could ever give

The presentation! he ends up giving.

He starts by ! writing the story.

Then, he builds! the slides.

Awesome! Presentation.

If your visual track is exactly the same as your spoken track, your audience will get bored. They can read faster than you can talk If your visual track is exactly the same as your spoken track, your audience will get bored. They can read faster than you can talk Spoken! track Visual! track

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.

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.
