Hahaha. Obviously I meant include titles, images, graphs, captions etc. But screeds of text & a million bullet points usually not necessary!

Yeah, I follow this myself eg http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.4252022 … Not everybody seems to agree with me, but I think it makes for much better talks.

These slides are AWESOME. This is exactly what I'm talking about. imo slides are visual aids, not prompts for speaker or notes for audience.

Oh I'm so obviously in agreement. I think ideally slides should have no text. But sometimes it's needed, rarely though.

I think I mostly include text for myself, because I've practised enough.
