Scientific Talks in general and Masterpiece Theatre in particular.
Step 1 : Isolate the Take Home Message (THM) Distill your data down to one point Then state the significance in one sentence
Fall 2004 Speakers Examining mechanisms of cell division using real-time microscopy and chemical genetics Tarun Kapoor Genome restoration after radiation damage in Deinococcus radiodurans Mike Cox
Step 2 The Introduction Purpose- Start from nothing and get to the THM Remember: Who’s your Daddy? Just the Facts
Determine the “main question” or hypothesis • Very Specific • The answer will have broad implications and be the THM Remember: Who’s your Daddy? Just the Facts
Introduction (The question) Results (The data and interpretation) Conclusion (The THM )
Q. How much data? Q. How many slides? A. = T/2 (rule of thumb)
The main question dictates the data you present YES Data or Slide or Overhead ? NO Who’s your Daddy?
Results Section • Longest section = .7 T • Logical flow • Avoid vague statements • Draw conclusions (different from THM) Conclusion: Mutations in abc1 cause abnormal eye development THM: Eye development is regulated by ubiquitylation
Know Your Data • Practice without it • What the data are • What the data mean • Where the data lead
Step 3 The Conclusion • Recap the question • Recap the most important conclusion(s) • State the THM
The Three Tellums 1. Tellum what you’re gonna tellum 2. Then tellum 3. Then tellum what you toldum
Tor signaling • Tor is a highly conserved PI3 (lipid) kinase that is a protein kinase • in vitro, and presumably in vivo. • So-called because it is the “target of rapamycin” • Rapamycin is a drug that was identified from the soil of the • island of “Rapa Nui” (also known as Easter Island) in a screen for • anti-fungal compounds • Yeast mutants resistant to rapamycin identified three genes • TOR1TOR2 and FRP1 • FRP1 encodes a homolog of FK-506 binding protein • It is rapamycin bound to FK-506 binding protein that binds to and • inhibits the Tor1 and Tor2 protein kinases
