Tips for Successful Presentation

• Talks are nominally 50 minutes with 10 minutes for questions. However, questions arise at any time, so be prepared for interruptions.
• The audience contains a mix of experimental and theoretical particle physicists of all ages, as well as various others. Please make the talk understandable to an advanced graduate student in a different subfield.
• The projector does not show some colors well, so try to avoid yello (ROOT color number 5), green (ROOT color 3), and cyan (ROOT color 7).
