Section 1 showcases a combination of the custom functions: \texttt{\textbackslash uncovergraphics\{\}} and \texttt{\textbackslash footnotecite\{\}}. These can be used to highlight different projects you've worked on. \\
\bigskip
Section 2 showcases various examples of how this theme treats different elements. It also, hopefully, serves as a useful starting points for those new to Beamer/\LaTeX. It covers math, references, tables, blocks, uncovering, pauses, columns, graphics, itemize, transparency, and other useful tricks for newcomers. \\
\bigskip
Section 3 is a bulk-standard conclusion slide template, and also an appendix slide example. \\
\bigskip
Notes:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textcolor{red}{You may need to build a \underline{few} times to get the title page / references / links to properly render}
\item Always double-check your final build to make sure everything is as it should be
\item This example showcases both this theme works and also some tricks I've learned over the years
\item My aim is to be able to give this template to someone new to \LaTeX\ and it will give them almost everything they need to jump into their first beamer presentation

\subsection{Math and \textbackslash footnotecite\{\}}
\begin{frame}{\large\textsc{Math and \textbackslash footnotecite\{\}}} \setbeamercovered{transparent=30}
\vspace*{2em}
Note the extra spacing at the top of this slide via \texttt{\textbackslash vspace*\{2em\}}
\begin{align*}
E_{\text{XDM}} &= - \sum_{j<i} \sum_{n=6,8,10} f^{\text{BJ}}_{n}(R_{ij}) \frac{C_{n,ij} }{R_{ij}^{n}} \\
&= - \sum_{j<i} \left[ f^{\text{BJ}}_{6}(R_{ij}) \frac{C_{6,ij} }{R_{ij}^{6}} +
f^{\text{BJ}}_{8}(R_{ij}) \frac{C_{8,ij} }{R_{ij}^{8}} +
f^{\text{BJ}}_{10}(R_{ij}) \frac{C_{10,ij} }{R_{ij}^{10}} \right] \,. \\
\end{align*}
When you use \texttt{\textbackslash footnotecite\{\}}, it vertically fills the slide to get the positioning the same each time
\begin{equation*}
d_{\text{X}\sigma}(\bm{r}) = \left[ \int h_{\text{X}\sigma}\big(\bm{r},\bm{s}\big) \, s \, d\bm{s} \right] - \bm{r} \,.
\end{equation*}
Because of this, it can cramp the top of the slide. You can add a bit of spacing to fix this.

\begin{itemize} \setlength\itemsep{1ex}
\item Our previous conjecture that dynamical correlation doesn't matter much was generally correct
\item MolC6's improvement shows we're accurately modelling the physics
\item XCDM typically captures an additional 0.02-0.10 kcal/mol binding energy
\item If XDM overbinds, XCDM often (but not always) compounds the error

\item[3.] The \texttt{.sty} files should be easy to modify to suit another university's colour scheme. You will have to generate your own background image for the title slide, though. \\ \bigskip
