The deadline is fast approaching and I wanted to give a quick update before the weekend to offer guidance on what kind of content should go in your slides and kernels. These aren't rules, but it might be helpful to think about.\n
Your kernel is the journal article and the summary slides are your presentation at the conference. Kernels should have all the details and the slides should showcase be the big ticket items from your kernel.
\n\nUse kernels to show your work, describe your methods, and discuss the pros and cons of your conclusions. Graphs, charts, tables, discussions, mathematical formulas, and code are all appropriate for your kernels. Ideally, they should contain all the technical details and it might help for you to think of it as a lab notebook/lab report. The people that will be reading your kernels will be interested in the details of your work so describe your processes.
\n\nSummary slides should be in presentation format. If you win this competition, you will have the opportunity to present your findings to an actual audience. So go all out and make a good presentation. The information in the slides should be a distilled summary of your analysis. That means you should be concise and maybe even refer to different sections of your kernel to help support your proposed rule change. It's totally appropriate to use tables, charts, images, and references in your slides. The audience for this presentation will be pretty broad so it doesn't need to be very long and overly technical. Shoot for a 5 to 10 minute presentation -- one slide probably isn't enough and 50 slides is probably (definitely) too many.
