\begin{frame}{Make TikZ figures to help highlight your research design}
  \begin{wideitemize}
    \item Previously used tikz commands to highlight things in figures and tables
    \item You can make much cooler figures with this
    \item Here's an example for showing diff-in-diff timing:
  \end{wideitemize}
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}[snake=zigzag, line before snake = 5mm, line after snake = 5mm, line width=1mm]
    % draw horizontal line   
    \draw (0,0) -- (1,0);
    \draw[snake] (1,0) -- (3,0);
    \draw (3,0) -- (4,0);
    \draw[blue] (4,0) -- (8,0);
    \draw[->] (8,0) -- (9,0);


    \draw (0,.95) -- (1,.95);
    \draw[snake] (1,.95) -- (3,.95);
    \draw (3,.95) -- (4,.95);
    \draw[red] (4,.95) -- (8,.95);
    \draw[->] (8,.95) -- (9,.95);

    % draw vertical lines
    \foreach \x in {8}
      \draw (\x cm,.205) -- (\x cm,-.205);
    \foreach \x in {4}
      \draw (\x cm,{.95+(.205)}) -- (\x cm,{.95-(.205)});
    \foreach \x in {0}
      \draw (\x cm,{.95+(.205)}) -- (\x cm,{0-(.205)});

    % draw nodes
    \draw (0,0) node[below=.105] {}  node[left=.105] {\textcolor{blue}{Control}};
    \draw (0,0.95) node[below=.105] {} node[above=.105] {} node[left=.105] {\textcolor{red}{Treatment}};
    \draw (4,.95) node[below=.105] {} node[above=.105] {} node[below=.105] {Policy Treatment};
    \draw (8,0) node[below=.105] {} node[above=.105] {} node[below=.105] {End Policy};
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Consider making your math prettier}
  \begin{wideitemize}
    \item Don't overdo it when putting up equations\\(either regressions or theorems)
    \item Try adding color and text to highlight the relevant formula
    \item Consider (Imbens and Angrist 1994): 
      \begin{equation*}
        \alpha_{g}^{IV} = \left. \underbrace{Cov(Y, g(\textcolor{blue}{Z}))}_{\text{\textcolor{red}{Reduced Form}}} \middle/ \underbrace{Cov(D, g(\textcolor{blue}{Z}))}_{\text{\textcolor{green}{First Stage}}} \right.
      \end{equation*}
  \end{wideitemize}
\end{frame}


\begin{frame}{Notes for yourself}
  \begin{wideitemize}
    \item An underused feature of beamer is the notes feature
    \item Outside of frame environment, you use the \texttt{\textbackslash note} command
    \item See the source code after this frame, and in the header
    \item You can even make these notes available for you as you present!
  \end{wideitemize}
\begin{center}
  \includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{example_note.pdf}
\end{center}
\end{frame}
% From here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/114219/add-notes-to-latex-beamer
% To give a presentation with the Skim reader (http://skim-app.sourceforge.net) on OSX so
% that you see the notes on your laptop and the slides on the projector, do the following:
% 
% 1. Generate just the presentation (hide notes) and save to slides.pdf
% 2. Generate onlt the notes (show only nodes) and save to notes.pdf
% 3. With Skim open both slides.pdf and notes.pdf
% 4. Click on slides.pdf to bring it to front.
% 5. In Skim, under "View -> Presentation Option -> Synhcronized Noted Document"
%    select notes.pdf.
% 6. Now as you move around in slides.pdf the notes.pdf file will follow you.
% 7. Arrange windows so that notes.pdf is in full screen mode on your laptop
%    and slides.pdf is in presentation mode on the projector.
\note[itemize]{
\item Make sure not to forget notes!
\item I should use these more
\item put your text here!
}


\begin{frame}{Sizing / perspective on frame}
  \begin{wideitemize}
  \item Thanks to Casey Wichman, these slides are in beautiful 16:9
  \item If you don't want that, just remove the \texttt{aspectratio} option in the document class
  \item But, it will be hard to put stuff next to pictures
  \item It's much more modern looking in 16:9
  \end{wideitemize}

\section{Appendix}
\begin{transitionframe}
  \begin{center}
    \Huge Appendix!
  \end{center}
\end{transitionframe}

\begin{frame}{Almost done!}
  \begin{wideitemize}
  \item Use the \texttt{\textbackslash appendix} command to restart the numbering
  \item The frame counter says this is the last slide, but it's not
  \item (Test it, see you on next page)
  \end{wideitemize}
\end{frame}

\appendix

\begin{frame}[label=appendix_start]{Almost done!}
  \begin{wideitemize}
  \item See, now we're in backup slide land
  \item This is made useful by having links throughtout the talk
  \item Here's a button, which is how I make links \hyperlink{appendix_end}{\beamergotobutton{Next slide}}
  \end{wideitemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[label=appendix_end]{Use it to intimidate audiences!}
  \begin{wideitemize}
    \item[] Now you can make it clear you've done a shitload of work
      \begin{itemize}
      \item[]  without having to show everything! \hyperlink{appendix_start}{\beamergotobutton{Back}}
      \end{itemize}
    \item[] You label a frame with the \texttt{[label=name]} option, and then point a link to it
    \item[] You can make an object a link using the \texttt{\textbackslash hyperlink\{label\}\{object\}} command
  \end{wideitemize}
\end{frame}
