Bassler's Rules of Presentation
Stick to the big picture.
"We know this stuff in excruciating detail," she says. "You want to drive a metal stake through your head listening to our lab meetings."
On slides, use few words and make one point.
"People can read faster than I can talk," she says. "If I put the words there, I'm irrelevant."
Tell stories.
"These are detective stories with mini mysteries that all point to the same thing."
Don't strive to be the smartest person in the room.
"Sometimes people are like, 'Wow you don't sound scientific,'" she says. "The data are on the slide."
