Happy Thanksgiving, eh?

2019 Nobel Prize in Physics!• Jim Peebles (Princeton), Michel Mayor (Geneva), Didier Queloz (Cambridge)

• Peebles: “for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology.”• Mayor and Queloz: “for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star."

The Conference Presentation

Scientific TalksTypes of Scientific Talks:

• Contributed Conference Talk (10-15 minutes)

• Short and succinct! Usually aimed at specialists

• Don’t go into great detail; just the basics necessary to convey the message

• 5 slides max (excluding figures)

• Seminar (50 minutes)

• A talk usually aimed at like-minded specialists (e.g. gravity group, condensed matter

group, biophysics group)

• Heavy on details and field-specific technical aspects

• Colloquium (50 minutes)

• Usually less technical than a seminar; content aimed at physicists, not necessarily

specialists

• Public Lecture (~1 hour)

• A comprehensive talk that tells a story to the general public; doesn’t have to be about

specific research topic

The Conference Talk• About 4 or 5 slides maximum (excluding title and sign-off)

• Caveat! Unless you have figures that can be discussed quickly!

1. Title slide2. Introduction / background to topic.3. How your work fits in to this topic.4. Specifics on your work and results5. Specifics on your work and results (if needed)6. Conclusions and future directions7. Sign-off slide

• Anticipate 2 minutes per slide (title and figures go faster)

• Time dilation! 10-12 minutes passes much faster when you’re in front of an audience!

Tips on Slide Formatting• Keep them simple! Only show relevant info (equations; plots;

descriptions)

• Know your audience! Gear the technical content to fit those in attendance.

• Don’t show paragraphs; point form info is easier on the eyes; you fill in the gaps!

• Don’t go overboard on animations; use simple “appear” (wipes are also good to describe plot structures)

• Keep formatting consistent between slides (colors, fonts, etc…)

• Black holes are a perhaps the only class of object in the Universe that are characterized simultaneously by classical and quantum characteristics

Are Black Holes Classical or Quantum?

• Metric:

• Characteristics:– Singularity

– Horizon

– Temperature

– Entropy
