I can't remember if I posted this rant already.

@steveroyle @MCDuncanLab the thing that I've found is that no matter how much we think we're telling an exciting detective story, for the audience it's not as exciting as we'd imagine. I think in my whole career I've seen maybe 2 or 3 talks that pulled off the detective story.
Yeah I'm a complete failure at the detective story. also jokes.

I don't like the full detective mode. Like in the overview, I posted I give a general idea of where I'm going.
Like my current research I'd introduce as Today I'm going to tell you about some new protein interactions important for clathrin mediated traffic and how those might explain a large class of neurodevelopmental disorders.
It lets you know in general where I'm going so you know what to focus on in the intro and early data.
@MCDuncanLab @steveroyle personally I like more than a general idea. I want to know specifically what you're going to try to persuade me to believe so that I can pay attention to the details with a mind to whether or not it's the right way to answer the question. So often I listen to a talk and try to focus on the details and then at the end the big reveal of the result and I'm just left cold because I haven't been able to think about whether or not I can believe it.

@MCDuncanLab @steveroyle everyone appreciates the jokes even if they're terrible though!

I don't think so. I think my jokes make people sad and want to give me a hug.
