Designing PowerPoint Slides for a Scientific Presentation
In the video below, we show you the key principles for designing effective PowerPoint slides for a scientific presentation.
Using examples from actual science presentations, we illustrate the following principles:
- Create each slide as a single message unit
- Explicitly state that single message on the slide
- Avoid bullet points-opt for word tables
- Use simple diagrams
- Signal steps in biological processes
- Annotate key biological structures
- Annotate data in tables and graphs
- Use builds
