      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!

          And if you have to say "I know you can't see/read this........" then you need to remove the slide as it's pointless.

          I actually can't read anything when someone is taking. And I can't listen when I'm reading. Words on ptt slides are so distracting!!

          Even more reason to cut down on words!

          My rule of thumb - most slides should have no words.

          You should have a chat with @_alice_evans on presentation style. It would be a good chat as well.

          So much this! If you're going to just read the slides at me then email them to me and save us both the time and effort of being here

          Nothing more annoying or redundant than a presenter reading the text on their slide.
