It's that sort of naming convention that makes Organic Chemistry fun!

Nice link. But I still think 5+ bullet point starts to get confusing.

Thanks. I had never heard of it but it makes sense. I think in the areas I have worked 10 slides are too few but more than about 20 are too many. Other than that it is very close to how I like to operate.

Which is a misuse of Powerpoint.

I've posted this elsewhere. After reading this you should be a skeptic:

More people need to read up on this experiment:

They ran into serious problems and that was on a system located on Earth and well stocked. Martian colonies are a pipe dream. We know very little about the oceans, let's explore those first.

One 'institute' after another banging that drum. We need to make sure a different story gets out.

Civil and Environmental Engineering are also hard to offshore. As are forestry, extractive industries, agriculture, recreation and tourism. There are probably more but I can't think of them.

+1. Slides are note cards giving an outline. Some information is easier to explain with diagrams, charts and graphs, or video. Use graphics well. Keep the slides simple with 3 to 7 points per slide (to cater to human short term memory) with about one slide for every one to two minutes. No more than 30 to 40 slides for a one hour session including anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes for Q&A.

and stop after an hour. A presentation which takes more than an hour is fundamentally flawed IMO. If you must go longer take about 5 to 10 minute break each hour.

Build your presentation to how humans operate.

"this is largely a function of screen resolution and visible font size"

Wrong. It is limited by how much and how fast the human mind can absorb. Short-term memory varies from about 3 to 7 items. So I never put more than five items on a slide. First think about how the human mind operates, then pick your fonts etc. If you are finding yourself using smaller and smaller fonts you are not using the slides correcty.

I am so totally going to steal that.

You're a genius! To save the bats we refer to them as 'wetware weapons delivery systems' and the DoD and right wing politicians will start throwing money at the problem.

And slow down the arrival of The Rapture.

That why despite the best attempts of government there are no North American Bison left.... oh... wait......

Except maybe hijacking strike drones.....
