To prevent spam, you must be on the list to send to the list. If you have problems sending or receiving, or just wish to join, you may add your current email address by sending a blank message to  //viral11-on@kitp.ucsb.edu//.

Guidance for the Speakers
There are two kinds of talks:  1. **Morning talks;**  2. **Afternoon talks.**
 * at the VIRAL11 Program**

Morning talks should not last more than **60 minutes** altogether, including discussion. If there is only one talk in the morning, it may last up to **80 minutes** altogether.  Afternoon talks should not last more than **40 minutes** altogether.

 Experience has shown that the duration of a talk at KITP is easily double the  one of a comparable well-planned talk at other venues. Thus speakers are strongly  advised to prepare material for a talk lasting respectively **30min** (morning), **40min**  (morning, when there is only one talk) or **20min** (afternoon). It may help to state the **conclusions** //early//  //in the talk// (as the second or third slide), because the road to them can be full <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;"> of traps and forks, and it helps the audience to know where one is going to.
