• Your group will have 8 minutes to present -- no more. There will be an additional two minutes for questions.
   
• After 4 minutes, you will hear a distant tinkling, After 7 minutes you will hear a firm but brief clang. At 8 minutes you will hear a thunderous crash impossible to ignore. At that moment, you're time is up.
   
• Your audience will consist of people in your class plus people in BNFO252 Phage Lab
   
• You may presume that everyone has a basic familiarity with phage
   
• You should not presume that everyone has much familiarity with bioinformatic tools, except Blast. In particular, you should not presume any familiarity with BioBIKE. There's generally no point trying to explain BioBIKE code to those unfamiliar with it. Spend your time instead making your procedure intuitively clear.
   
• Your group should plan a brief introduction that integrates all individual projects, providing a rationale for why each individual project is part of the whole.
   
• The remainder of your group's time should be divided amongst the individual members and devoted to one highlight from each project.
   
• More important than WHAT you believe is WHY you believe it. Within the time available, give your audience an idea of how you arrived at your conclusions.
   
• Your primary responsibility: BE INTERESTING. Tell a brief scientific story that describes your journey to discovery, including thought processes and reasons.
