DNA Day 25
1 May 2019 ✷ Independent Research Presentation Practice
Rationale: The presentation was rehearsed in order to prepare for CURES on Friday.
Procedure
- The class was broken up into 3 chunks consisting of 2-3 research groups
- The chunks went to different classrooms and practiced their presentations
- The group that wasn’t presenting critiqued the presenting group and then the roles reversed
- Presentations were adjusted according to the feedback
- Fonts were increased
- images were made larger
- all of the AM-specific genes were re-BLASTed to see how many hit with high GC bacteria or only AM phages
- charts/tables were updated with this new information

Conclusion
We need to be more specific in parts of the presentation that we understand really well but others won’t; better and more concise explanation will make the presentation flow smoother.
Future plans
Finalize and present!
