I need a power point presentation TODAY.  This is the sort of project that stalls out my creativity and works me into an unnecessary frenzy.  It's the sort of thing I usually hire someone to do.  No matter how much I have tried, I just don't speak the language.  I may be one of the very few who still doesn't use a computer program to balance my checkbook (paper and pencil do just fine).  I figured out how to "create" a slideshow with proper timings (insert the cheerleading squad here) but I specifically need something ELSE.

Here is what I have so far.

On a much brighter side, the completion of this project is necessary for something that is right around the corner: I have been asked to be a part of a panel at an upcoming conference titled "SPEAK! The quality of connection between humans and animals" hosted by Jean Larson at the University of Minnesota.  

Luckily, I've had a bit more practice at the bio part....
