Background/Introduction

The first slide should indicate the title and authors of paper. You should clearly state the study objective/purpose of the study.
What is the key issue or problem that the paper is addressing?
Why is this problem important?

Why should your audience care?

Clearly describe the rationale/previous data or observations for the research question/hypothesis.
Provide both biology background as well as experimental background as required for the audience to understand the topic.
Include key findings and experimental approaches that establish the precedence for the present work.
Clearly explain what the research question/hypothesis is to be addressed.
Is there a current theory in the field, a consensus or a controversy.
Explain the jargon and define the terms.

Methods

I’m hoping the faculty can explain… —NOT! You need to understand methods well enough to:
1. Explain it to the audience
2. Understandthenecessaryinputs

3. Understand the experimental outputs and what they show

4. Understand the issues, problems, and necessary controls

Use figures from other papers or create them yourself to adequately explain the method to your audience.
Try to be critical of the methods — is it really showing what the author thinks it’s showing?

Results

Show figures and results. For each experiment, first briefly describe why it was done and what the hypothesis is.
Present a clear image of each figure.
Describe what the data represents (e.g., the axes of graphs).

Consider enhancing the figure with your own notes or highlights. Add enough annotation so the figure makes sense to your audience.
Briefly summarize what the results show.
You don’t necessarily need to cover every aspect of the article; focus on what you think is the most important to convince the audience of the quality and conclusions of the work. Did the author interpret the results correctly? Is there another interpretation? Be critical!

Conclusions

Summarize the author’s conclusions. What conclusions did the author draw? Are the conclusions justified from the data? Are they supported by the evidence?
Do you agree with the conclusions? Do the results relate to the research questions proposed in the study objectives? What was the most significant finding of the paper in your opinion and why? Discuss any limitations with the study. How does this study push the field forward? What are the ramifications or implications of this work? What is the impact? Did the authors suggest future directions? What else would you have liked to have seen done? What is your opinion about the novelty, validity, and importance of the findings. At what confidence level should we accept all of this.
