Flash talk format

Please aim to present for up to 2 minutes, and we’ll also allow roughly 2 minutes for questions after each presentation. If you’d like to use slides, please bring them on your own laptop if possible. If you don’t have access to a laptop, you can send slides to Charles or Daniel before the session. During the session we’ll ask presenters to connect to a Zoom meeting that is projected to the entire room, and presenters will be able to share their screen so that everyone can see their slides.
