Welcome! Here’s everything you need to know about your Bitesize Bio Educational Webinar

What a Bitesize Bio Educational Webinar Is

A Bitesize Bio educational webinar is a short, presentation‑led session, delivered as a live broadcast with our production team. After the broadcast, we turn the session into an evergreen article and learning resource on Bitesize Bio.

This is not a panel discussion or sales pitch. The session is delivered live to an audience, but there is no audience interaction during the broadcast. You simply present from start to finish in a supported environment.

What the Live Broadcast Session Is Like

Here’s what to expect on the day (with a live audience watching):

• You’ll join the broadcast room 20 minutes before the webinar start time
• This time is used for onboarding and technical checks (audio, video, screen sharing)
• Once ready, you’ll present straight through without interruption
• The session ends when your presentation is complete

In some broadcast slots, multiple mentors are scheduled back‑to‑back. If this applies to your session, we’ll let you know in advance, and we’ll ask that you remain in the room while the other presenter(s) deliver their talk.

Total time commitment in these cases may be up to ~80 minutes.

What You’ll Need to Do

As the presenter, your role is to:

• Deliver a clear, educational presentation on a topic you know well
• Use slides (existing slides are absolutely fine)
• Speak naturally — this is not expected to be scripted or over‑produced

You do not need to manage an audience, moderate questions, or handle any technical setup during the session.

What We Handle for You

Bitesize Bio takes care of everything around the presentation, including:

• Technical setup and live broadcast support
• Recording and post‑production
• Editing and publishing the webinar
• Turning your session into an evergreen article
• Hosting and distribution via the Bitesize Bio platform

Our goal is for you to focus solely on sharing your expertise.

Role of the Host:

• The webinar will be introduced and supported by a Bitesize Bio host.
• The host will help manage the session flow, introduce you and your topic, and moderate the live Q&A.
• You can focus on your content and expertise while we handle technical and audience interactions.

Technical Setup & Presenter Requirements

To keep this page clear and readable, we’ve put detailed technical requirements into a short Presenters’ Guide (PDF).

This covers:

• Slide formatting and screen‑sharing best practices
• Microphone, webcam, and room setup
• Internet and computer requirements
• What happens during the 20‑minute pre‑broadcast orientation

Please read this guide carefully, as following these steps ensures the best possible experience for you and our audience.

Sharing Your Published Webinar

Once your webinar and article are live, we actively encourage you to share them with your lab, department, collaborators, or social media following. To make this easy, we’ve put together a Webinar Promotion Guide with ready-to-use tips, example copy, and suggested ways to share your session effectively.

You’re welcome to share as much or as little as you like (there’s no obligation!) but mentors who do share often find it a great way to extend the reach and impact of their work.

What Happens After the Broadcast

After your session:

• The broadcast is edited and published on Bitesize Bio
• An accompanying article is created from your presentation
• The resource becomes part of our long‑term educational library

Many mentors use these articles as visible evidence of teaching, outreach, and peer‑to‑peer contribution.

TL;DR! Before your session, please make sure you:
