Tables and figures

If a diagram is unduly complicated, please save as a separate file, preferably in .tif format.
Presentations
In most cases, presenters will be using PowerPoint slides. Your slides should complement your talk, not duplicate it. Try not to read your slides to the audience (they can read as well as you). If a slide does not add to what you plan to say, then don't use a slide! To make your presentation most effective, think of each slide as a billboard: one picture, no more than 7 words, and able to be understood in less than 5 seconds. Try not to fill your slides with unreadable text and/or numbers. And please try to limit yourself to a maximum of about 15 slides. At a typical average of 1 minute per slide, this will give you 15 minutes for presentation and another 15 minutes for question and answer. If you use these guidelines, you will find it much easier to limit the number of slides needed.
