    If there's one thing I've learned in my time as a scientific researcher, it's that powerpoint slides should have more pictures than words if at all possible

        Also a good tip - minimum font size of 18, if you're in a big auditorium even that is usually too small

        Another good rule of thumb - your audience can read faster than you can talk If it's on your slide, you don't need to say it, because the audience will know it long before you finish your sentence!

        Absolutely. The PowerPoint is to support the presentation, not be the presentation supported by the presenter talking about it.

        People are really out there writing paragraphs on Powerpoint that would lose you marks as a first-year science student.

        Yes some scientists need things explained very simply to them lol. Its why I prepared this. Citing palaeo archeological evidence re bone marrow fats meat & human evolution seemed to go over their heads when they were claiming meat bad for health. Still all that blown apart nowpic.twitter.com/r9OLPfTZAl

        And if the pictures have words, those words should be legible. No more blurry diagrams

        If you have to apologise for a slide, don't show it.

        Agree! Many of my slides have one small sentence and a picture. Some just the pic!!
