Presenters in the Great Room often use paper handouts as well as slides and power points that provide information to the audience. These additional media are often of interest to audience members who would like to follow up on the topic, as would those who missed the presentation. These media will be included in the “Lectures” section below. In addition, some workshop members prepare material themselves that warrant views by members of the Academy, and can be found in the “Other” category.
