Guideline for presentation 29/01/2018 Guideline for presentation Now down to the Work part of the Working Group meeting! Focus on the development of GSICS Products Mostly items assigned 20 minute slots But this includes discussion time! So please keep presentations brief and to the point Presentations will be uploaded to the GSICS Wiki Unless you tell me not to Can include more background information Please follow file naming convention: 1a_Hewison_Introduction.pptx/pdf/ppt
