Template Instructions • Slides will be printed – so only static content may be used in slides (no videos). • Make it look like the example slides! Especially the first slide (you have flexibility on the second one, but use the prescribed fonts and borders, and don’t change the background). • The first slide should have names and pictures of student and advisor, along with a question related to your research, the second slide (at least tries to) answer the question. Names should be in italics
How can something be in two places at once? Student: Jarom Jackson Advisor:Dallin S. Durfee
Quantum mechanics tells us that everything behavesas a wave. That wave can be split into multiple parts. In our lab we’re building an ion interferometer which will split a strontium ion’s quantum wave function, cause it to travel two different paths The two waves will then interfere. The interferometer will be used to measure electric fields with unprecedented precision and to search for a possible non-zero rest mass for light.
More template instructions • They will be printed on 6”x5” cards – make sure it will look good at that size. • Make the question interesting so that they want to know the answer. Make slides pretty and fun. • Stick with white, Calibri 16 point font (20 point for the question). Only student and advisor names should be in italics. • Use a 3 point white border on all pictures/figures. • You can find a picture of your advisor at physics.byu.edu • When complete, delete the instructions slides, save with your name in the filename, and send your slides to bret_hess@byu.edu . Please use the word “slides” in the subject line.
Deadline • Slides must be sent to bret_hess@byu.edu by Mon October 10. Rewards • You will have a chance to win a water rocket launcher! • You and your date will be invited to the homecoming dinner on Fri Oct 14. • You’ll help us keep our alumni connected with and interested in our department!
