This is an 8 minutes talk given at AWI PhD Days 2024. The rendered html slides from this source code can be found at opinner.github.io. This presentation contained the option of doing live polls of the audience with DirectPoll. Now the polls are replaced by screenshots of their results. Extra info in the slides can be accessed by clicking the words underlined with fine dots.

After over 3 years of doing my PhD I am still unsure what the best practices are. But I can at least show other people what I learned outside the scientific papers I publish. As this talk had to be quite short, I only cover:

1. Version Control
2. Notes (short-term and long-term)
3. Citation management

Any comments or questions about this talk can be left at the discussions page.

Most of my notes I deem even slightly interesting to other people can be found at OceanAtmosWiki. Some topics in a non-exhaustive list, I write notes about are:

• Software recommendations
• Workflow examples,
• Advice for science communication
• Gender & Diversity information

This presentation was made with Remark, based on a template forked from githubtraining/slideshow-on-pages. Presenter notes are toggled during presentation with P, a second screen is opened with C. The extension are possible through nutshell. Most of the css code was written with the help of ChatGPT.

I cannot really recommend this way for making an easy, quick presentation, but for any kind of interactive slides, it is very useful.
