Guidance for speakers and moderators

Before the conference

• • Talks will be recorded and accepting the talk slot implies their willingness to be recorded/shared (remote speakers can keep cameras off if they prefer).

  • To design inclusive visual content: we encourage presenters to

    • use color palettes that are suitable for color-blind audiences

    • use fonts that are suitable for dyslexic participants.

    • additional resources for color-blind and dyslexia-compliant slides: https://github.com/fedhere/FASTlab/blob/master/AccessibleVisualContent.md and https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02696-z.

    • a slide template with logos and an acronym glossary in the footer is provided for the speakers's convenience https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/14gfWEP2bpCuKplfHaR348AYxgUL0nQwy7BheKJ1v42M/edit?usp=sharing

  • Do not belittle or elevate some questions over others (by saying “that is a good question”, implying others may not have been). It is important that everyone is empowered to and comfortable in asking questions and clarifications without the pressure of having to think up a “good question”.

  • No later than 48 hours before your session upload your talk in pdf, pptx, or keynote format via your session dropbox link. Links should be provided to you by your session organizers
