Background information

• Background information should be informative
  information about the topic of your research. It
  should lead the audience to ask the same question
  that you did. This may take up to two or three
  slides. While it is very important information,
  you should consider carefully how much detail you
  add. If you add too much, the audience will get
  bored. If you add too little, the audience will
  get lost. You simply want to lead the audience
  through your thought process as to why you did
  this experiment. You may need to cite scientific
  papers here. If so, you put the authors name in
  parentheses with the date of the publication.
  Then, at the end of the slideshow, put the full
  citation in a references slide.
