During an 18 minute @TEDTalks:
The most popular TED talks used an average of 465 hand gestures
The least popular TED talks used an average of 272 hand gestures
Even more interesting is the transcription text-only version of the high hand gestures talks are equally as popular.https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1073843695516938240 …

Very interesting - I gesture a lot with my hands and have been coached to do so less when publicly speaking - perhaps bad advice.

Roger, indeed. The absolute worse advice. This unsupported concept came from political coaches that developed the idea based on an invalid assumption that hand movements present flea/fight/stay limbic responses. They do if they are not congruent with the person.
