The Power of Malaria Vaccine Trials Using Controlled Human Malaria Infection

Presentation Students will pick a biological study that is recent within the past 5 years, and dissect it: Everybody loves a great story; think of how you can make it a better story. Choose any biological topic that is published in a scientific journal Use Microsoft PPT Guidelines on Presentations: Upload your presentation and send it to me on blackboard Your presentation should tell a scientific story in a way that everyone present can understand. Try not to cover so many ideas, stick instead to a major theme. Focus on what the audience needs to know about the subject. Keep it simple! Online class must record audio within the PPT for each slide (click on insert then record audio) Pronunciation problems go to: howjsay.com Completed presentation should be about 5-7 minutes long please time yourself Visual aids: A visual aid is something your audience can see that aids your speech content. The more pictures the better. Animation is an excellent visual aid as long as it flows, is not distracting, and does not exceed 1 minute. Font, color, background Decide what font, colors, graphics, background design and layout to use for your entire presentation. While you can use variation, strive for consistency: titles should be the same color, bullets should be the same color and shape, etc...Visual aids can be created using almost any color, but there should be enough contrast between foreground and background elements and too many colors can distract from the message. Videos: To insert a video into the PPT, DO NOT PASTE THE LINK. If downloading a video from YouTube: paste the like to the YouTube video into the space provided at keepvid.com. You want to choose a MP4 video file with the Max available. Save the video in the same folder as your PPT presentation or it will not play during your presentation. Title: Slide 1 You may list the title given by the scientific researchers or you can simplify it. You must list the author and your name as a presenter of the work. For example: Escape behavior and escape circuit activation By: Jen Herberholz Presented by: Sandra Espinoza South Texas College Introduction: Slide 2-3 Should describe the question tested by the experiments; give background and state hypothesis Materials and Methods: Slide 4-6 The materials and methods section should describe how the experiments were actually done. Results: Slide 7-9 Summarize results of study focusing on what worked, not things that did not work unless they didn’t work for reasons that are interesting and provide insight. Sources Cited: Last slide Pictures: pictures from the web pleases cite the website where picture was obtained below the picture in a 10 point font align text to the right. Does not need to be referenced in the sources cited slide Videos: videos from YouTube please cite the individual/affiliation that uploaded the video in a 10 point font below the video align text to the right. Does not need to be cited in the sources cited slide Journals: The last slide in your presentation should be your sources cited page. Do not use Wikipedia to get your information; you must have a published study from a respected scientific journal like plosone.org For example: Sources Cited Puri S, Faulkes Z (2010) Do Decapod Crustaceans Have Nociceptors for Extreme pH? PLoS ONE 5(4): e10244. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0010244
