This document provides guidelines for creating an effective slide presentation, including summarizing key points in 3 sentences or less. The results section should emphasize graphical/tabular data over text, using essential results that can be discussed in a few minutes. Figures and tables should be large and legible from 5 feet away. The background, methods, and discussion sections should be brief and targeted. References should be succinct, usually including 2-3 citations. The title, presenter name, and main finding should be prominently displayed to concisely convey the purpose and conclusions.
