PPS Slide Shows
To present our slide shows at your next outreach event, simply download the individual images available at the links below and use your computer's default photo editing software (such as Apple's iPhoto, or Vista's Windows Photo Gallery) to play the slide shows on your laptop or project them on a large screen.

We found that the following settings work best:

• Slide duration: 5 seconds (min)
• Transition: Dissolve
• Automatic Ken Burns effect: OFF (leaving it on makes the headlines hard to read)
