- 5. Emk1 knockdown inhibits lumen formation in MDCK cells: -RT-PCR: EMK1 is effectively knocked down in MDCK cells 24 hours after transfection with P-SUPER (control) or P-SUPER-siEMK1 plasmid; knockdown confirmed on the right with antibodies to EMK1. - Collagen overlay assay: cells cultured 24 h on collagen I before being overlaid with additional collagen on the apical surface, analyzed 24 h later. Note the lack of lumen in EMK1-KO cultures. - Ca switch: control or EMK1-KO cells were plated in low Ca medium 24 h upon transfection with pSUPER or pSUPER-KO. After 12 h, cultures were switched to normal medium for 24 h. Transmission EM of cells sectioned perpendicular to the substratum shows lack of microvilli in EMK1-KO cells.

- 27. Illustrations Illustrations • Use only when needed • Should relate to the message and help make a point
- 28. Limit each slide to one idea Limit each slide to one idea • Use Use Bullet Points Bullet Points to cover to cover components of each idea components of each idea
- 29. Bullets Bullets • Keep each bullet to 1 line, 2 at the most • Limit the number of bullets in a slide to 5
- 30. Points to remember Points to remember • Keep bullet points brief • Use the same background for each slide • Use dark slides with light colored text in large hall events

Editor's Notes
- #4: The next slide a very poorly designed slide. By examining the defects and errors in it, we can consider ideas for creating an effective slide. Now, let us examine the next slide.
- #5: Just see how poorly designed the slide is. Try reading the text. Can anyone read it? None can read it without difficulty. Why? Because of poor choice of colour. Moreover, there is too much text in the slide. There are too many pictures also. The slide as a whole is not conveying any information at all!! In short, these are the main defects of the slide. Next side…
- #6: Now have one more look at the defective slide. Let us go back to previous slide. Previous slide. Then this slide. Next slide…
- #7: These are the main points to be remembered while entering text in a slide. The first point is the most important one. Make text short and to the point. In this sentence “Make text short and to the point”, we can even make it shorter: “Make text short”. This is enough. The other part is only a further explanation. This can be achieved by the instruction in the second line: “Include only key words and phrases.” In a given context, we must be able to identify the most important words and phrases. This can be achieved only if we are thoroughly familiar with the material we are presenting. If we have not digested the ideas, we will not be in a position to identify the key words and phrases. We may use several methods for this purpose. In this slide we have used a different color to highlight the key words. Note that in the first line, the key words are text and short. In the second line, the important words are key and words. In the third line the key word is highlight.
