-====== Speaker Instructions ====== 
  
-The basic parameters of a JC talk are: 
- 
-**Duration**. Plan to talk for about 20 minutes and spend an additional 5 minutes fielding questions. 
- 
-**Topic**. Typical journal club talks discuss an academic paper which is not the speaker's own work.  
- 
-**Preparation**. If you're a less-experienced presenter, the organizers can help connect you with 
-a subject-area expert who can spend a little time helping you get oriented with your topic. 
- 
-**PowerPoint**. Feel free to use it if you want. In the interests of saving preparation time and 
-practicing extemporaneous speaking, you may wish to keep your usage of it to a minimum, only to 
-show key plots or equations. 
- 
-**Feedback**. If there's any particular kind of feedback you'd like on your talk, let the organizers 
-know, and they'll try to make sure you get it. 
- 
-=== Choosing a Topic === 
- 
-Here are some ways you could choose a topic to present: 
- 
-  * Present a paper that you needed to read anyway (if it isn't extremely discipline-specific) 
-  * Present a classic paper 
-  * Present a paper that generated interesting discussion at the ''astro-ph'' coffee 
-  * Present a paper connecting to the previous day's or next week's colloquium 
-  * Present a paper in a field that you're unfamiliar with and would like learn a bit more about 
- 
-It's important that Journal Club appeal to as broad a cross-section of the department as 
-possible, so try to choose topics which will be accessible and interesting to those who 
-are nonexperts in them.
