No, not recommended!

What will the audience know at the end of hour

Compared to the beginning

11am is a great time

Sleep, meals won't affect

If light goes down, we go to sleep

It's extremely hard to see slides from closed eyelids

So that you can deal with weirdnesses

Imagine all seats were filled with disinterested farm animals

Get the right-sized place

This has been going on for X years

This has been going on with Y people

Your faculty supervisor is not a good person to practise your talk

Examining committee of people with grey hair is what you want

Problem that someone cares about

Something new in your approach

Constraints

List out steps you had to take

Enumerate your contributions

"Miss Child is it fun to be famous?"

"You get used to it"

"You never get used to getting ignored" -PHW

Your ideas are like your children. You don't want them to go to rags.

Have a symbol to associate with your work

Have a slogan to provide a handle

You need a surprise

A salient idea

A near miss

Tell a story of how you did it, why it works, why it's important

Person: Some high school teacher inspired it

Idea: Someone showed them a new way of doing it

Passion: Someone exhibited passion in what they were doing

Use stories: We are story telling animals

That should have been at the beginning, not the end

WORST possible way to end a talk

Can be up there for 20 min

Squanders real estate

Squanders opportunity to say who you are

YES! This should be your last slide

Wait for people to read it

Doug anecdote

It's a weak move

Makes people feel weak

"The mass is now over, you can go home"

"It's been great fun being here""I've been much stimulated and look forward to coming back"

Can't use it without turning your head away

No engagement

"We could all leave and he wouldn't know"

"Are you Prof foo?" "Seems like it"

"Can you review my slides?"

Remove background junk

Get rid of the logos

Use animation and your mouth instead of words

Use very little text

Font size: 40pt or 50pt is about right

Print and lay it out on the table

Otherwise tennis

Hands in pockets

"Theater": not a good place

Note the reaction: that's the sponsor of the meeting

Empathetic mirroring

Rotate

Put some duct tape

Makes right-hand rule easy to remember

Let go of a heavy ball

"Many seconds to think this guy really believes in conservation of energy"

Speed at which you write: speed at which people can absorb

Hands in pockets insulting in some parts of the world

You can point at the board

Tell them

Tell them again

Tell them a third time
