-People want to know where they are within your presentation. This is why for a class of long presentations, there's an outline slide in the beginning and section headers.
-
-Separating sections with an additional slide is nice because it not only gives an audience an opportunity for questions, but it also allows you to sneak in a sip of water.
-
-To accomplish this automatically, thanks to a tip from [James Oswald](https://jamesoswald.dev), we add the following to the preamble of our Beamer file (before the `\begin{document}`)
-
-```latex
-\AtBeginSection[]{
-  \begin{frame}
-  \vfill
-  \textbf{\insertsectionhead}
-  \vfill
-  \end{frame}
-}
-```
-
-This produces the following slide right after your `\section{}` code:

-
-Which for me and my template is equivalent to if I typed this in the beginning of each section:
-
-```latex
-\begin{frame}
-	\textbf{First Awesome Section}
-\end{frame}
-```
-
-Saving a little bit of typing is always nice :)
-
-My slide is fairly bare-bones, another cool approach [shows the entire table of contents with every other section faded out.](https://statisticaloddsandends.wordpress.com/2019/02/18/beamer-inserting-section-slides-before-each-section/)
