“One Damn Slide After Another”: PowerPoint at Every Occasion for Speech (2016)
The best-constructed talk i ever saw as as scientist was by a medic who considered himself far too busy and important to spend time mucking around with Powerpoint. The only slides he had were figures of his results - photomicrographs of tissue, graphs of drug effects, etc - probably lifted from a paper in preparation, and so probably done by his graduate students anyway. This meant that there were only a handful of slides, so very few distracting transitions to distract from his talking, and the screen was always full of important content.<p>Needless to say, that this guy's combination of laziness and arrogance had led to him to have a much better presentation than me with much less effort left me <i>absolutely furious</i>.
