comments
-
keep biological terminology fairly simple, maybe even with the help of props
- audience may not know fluorophores, probes, plates, knocking out genes to affect the phenotype
- emphasize publishing, collaboration
- may be good to focus on more generic topics: image storage, rendering, sharing, analysis, etc.
- emphasizing big data and metadata is http://lincs.hms.harvard.edu/db/datasets/20004/results
- perhaps can show transfer function for rendering settings, but may be too confusing
- use good example for metadata
-
keep biological terminology fairly simple, maybe even with the help of props
