Also, I dunno about ComSci, but in Astro, much of the time your thesis dissertation is 3 distinct observing projects that all probe a single overall phenomenon. The oral presentation often just skips some of it - for example, you'll present the overall project background, then the data for one observing program, then the overall conclusions from the 3 programs together. Then the committee gets to probe on all of the observing programs and the conclusions, even if the wider audience doesn't get to see every picture.
Yeah, the kind of maddening thing is that even with an insane number of slides (83 now), I'm *STILL* just skimming the surface! This whole talk is just designed to give everyone a *feel* for the work, and then they can go read the bloody tome if they want to.
And, on the 83rd slide, I hit a situation where a list might be easiest and most communicative. Drat.
