Fellow academics, question: if you've given a super short ~2 minute talk on your research that consisted of *only one slide*, how did you go about making that slide? I registered for a 2-min talk session at a workshop next Sat and realized I've never given a one-slide before

Some useful context I like to keep in mind for short talk: 2 minutes is about the time of the Gettysburg address, and also enough time to explain the core ideas of general relativity. So I ask myself: what really, really matters?
I think this is a really interesting structure for a 3-min talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/stewart_brand_on_squatter_cities?language=en … All big picture. Interesting how much time is spent on music and images at the end.
