What i learned about making academic slides

  • Presentation are 10 minutes long, so make slide & select content according to this span of time;
  • Use less text and more images;
  • Craft a narrative about your research using story arcs;
  • Everything must be consistent and coherent;
  • Don’t make every slide a point slide;
  • If you make a point slide, don’t use more than three points;
  • Read the slide aloud and prepare a discourse
  • Beamer is cool but limitated, other tools like PP are more creative-friendly
