👩💻I want to present in an event. How should I prepare my slides?
💡1. Less is more: Although there are no “rules,” 20-25 slides work well for a one hour presentation.
💡2. Create sections: Use a title slide to start a new section or change the subject. This will also helps you organize your presentation and make sure it flows logically.
💡3. Avoid clutter: Stick to three to five bullet points per slide at most. Bullet points should contain key words (not complete sentences).
💡4. Make it readable: Rule of thumb for fonts: 28-40 point for headlines; 18-28 for text; 12-14 for references. Use sans serif fonts, and make sure you have a strong contrast between the background and text (e.g., black or dark blue text on a white background; white text on a blue background). Don’t use ALL CAPS; underscore a point by putting it in italics or bold (underlining can make the text more difficult to read).
💡5. Use visuals: a single image of something particularly relevant to your work is more engaging and has the potential to convey more information than words.
That said, it's important to keep the visual simple; For example, an image of a single cell or pathway.
💡6. Check your spelling: Nothing takes away from credibility like misspelled words; especially if they’re up on large screen for a minute or more (or worse, repeated throughout your presentation). After you use spell check, proof your presentation yourself. Let a day go by if possible; it’s easier to pick up errors after a break.
🔓You can check your spelling and grammar with apps like Grammarly.

📝 How can I choose a good title for my article?
"Title” and “abstract” are the “initial impressions” of a research article, hence they need to be drafted accurately.
Here are some checklist and useful tips for choosing a good title:
✏️The title needs to be simple and direct
✏️It should be interesting and informative
✏️It should be specific, accurate, and functional (with essential scientific “keywords” for indexing)
✏️It should include the main theme of the paper
✏️It should not be too long or too short (or cryptic)
✏️It should avoid whimsical or amusing words
✏️It should avoid nonstandard abbreviations and unnecessary acronyms
✏️Important terms/keywords should be placed at the beginning of the title
✏️The title should try to incorporate the Patients, Interventions, Comparisons, and Outcome (PICO)
✏️Descriptive titles are preferred to declarative or interrogative titles
✏️Authors should adhere to the word count and other instructions as specified by the target journal

❓Which title seems more correct?
Thank you all for answering this question. Because of telegram character limitations of the answer attached to the quiz, we decided to show it separable. Here are some reasons why choice 1 is favored:
✅ The words “study of” can be deleted in title 2.
✅ There is an optimum number of words in title 1; title 2 is a bit short.
✅ Title 2 is vague, needs to be more precise.
✅ Population and outcome are mentioned in title 1 but not in title 2.
✅ The words “study of” can be deleted in title 2.
✅ There is an optimum number of words in title 1; title 2 is a bit short.
✅ Title 2 is vague, needs to be more precise.
✅ Population and outcome are mentioned in title 1 but not in title 2.
