Instructions for Presenters

Oral presentations

We recommend that speakers use 12 minutes for their presentations and 3 minutes for questions. Due to concurrent sessions, the time limit of 15 minutes total per speaker will be strictly enforced. We will provide instructions for uploading presentation slides to the TREE folder online the week before the event. Please also bring your slides on a flash drive as a backup. All talks will be presented from a PC, and presenters will be provided a slide advancer, laser pointer, and microphone. If you wish to use your own computer, you are welcome to, though understand that the time for switching computers will cut into your presentation time. All student presentations being considered for awards will be video-recorded for judge consideration. If you do not wish your presentation to be recorded, please contact the organizers at biotree2017@gmail.com.
