10 Tips for Communicating Science with Scientists

Wed, 12 Jun 2013 22:59:00 -0400

(List presented by AG at ComSciCon 2013.)

Know your audience.
Decide what you are trying to say, before you start preparing any text, slides, video, or interactives.
Turn your work into a compelling story.
Less is more, especially in presentations.
Never overuse jargon or equations.
“PowerPoint doesn’t kill presentations, bullets do.”
Handouts are often an interesting option in live presentations.
Visualization and good graphics are critical for colleagues, not just for “the public.”
Don’t be afraid to break the mold.
Give credit where credit is due.

How to see who's in what group in Mac Address Book!

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 08:56:16 -0500

I’m not sure this problem vexes too many other people, but it surely did me! If you need to manage MANY contacts in your Mac Address Book (as I do), sometimes you want to see if a particular “Contact” is in a particular “Group,” and it’s not obvious how do that. It seems easy to see a list of everyone in a Group, but NOT to see every Group a person is in! But it IS easy…just hidden… the answer is…. HOLD DOWN THE OPTION KEY when you’ve selected a contact!! You’re welcome.
