Hiding 'answer' slides in student handouts using Beamer

After adding 'Question' slides, followed by 'Answer' slides, to my Beamer presentation, I wondered if there was an easy way to remove the 'Answer' slides from the handout version of the slides that I will give to the students.

It turns out that there is, as described in this link:  just add <handout:0> right after the \begin{frame}

When 'handout' is added to the document class, all those slides marked with <handout:0> are automatically excluded.

This is wonderful!

The wonderful 'endfloat' LaTeX package

With LaTeX (or LyX), one can work on a manuscript while placing the tables and figures in their natural places, and then, with the addition of a single line to the preamble:

\usepackage[nolists,tablesfirst]{endfloat}

the tables and figures are magically moved to the end, as is required at submission by many journals.  

The 'endfloat' package even inserts markers like "[Table 1 about here]" in the main text.

Now I just need to persuade my colleagues to start writing their manuscripts in LaTeX...

Here is an amazing set of photographs of C.C. Li, who was the founder of the Division of Human Genetics within the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Pittsburgh.
