The group’s presentations

First: Briefly present your dataset

What is your sample? What is your model organism?

• get in groups of 4-5 people
• each presents/ describes their dataset description in max. 2 min
• you are allowed to free-style or show slides
• your group can ask brief follow-up questions
• continue until done or time runs out
• Your time starts now!

Reflect silently for yourself and select the dataset presentation that you liked and were able to understand the best.

I will countdown and you will point at the person you selected, in 3-2-1-NOW.

• calculate 2 min per person plus 5 min for FAQ
• quick group constellation: first row turns around to the table behind= 1st group. 3rd row turns around to the table behind them = 2nd group and so on.
• try to schedule the group presentation before the first break (good ice breaker and conversation starter)
• we recommend 20-30 min for the presentations which allows for small talk and get to know each other as well
• 5 min before the end, ask if everyone had a chance to present their dataset.
• extend time if needed

Presentation of the selected datasets in front of the whole group

Rationale

In space, no one can hear you scream.

In data repositories, no one can hear your data description. Take the time to describe your data for humans and machines to understand!
