8. What is the SciVis 60-second Experience?

The SciVis 60-second Event is our group's elevator-pitch event. It occurs once a semester and is meant to allow SciVis attendees to summarize their work from the past few months, describe an interesting problem they're working on, or talk about a wacky idea they've been stewing over. Each one of us gets one slide and 60 seconds to pitch the idea to the group.

9. I've just given a talk. Where do I put my slides?

Please put your Powerpoint slides into
'/pro/graphics/scivis/talks' under the appropriate year (e.g., 2004/) and in a directory named for your username and the date of the talk (e.g., gem_May5/).

10. Where can I find past SciVis talks?

Past SciVis speakers, talk titles, and talk dates can be found on the visweb site, under Organization. The actual Powerpoint slides are on the filesystem in '/pro/graphics/scivis/talks'.
