FORM AND FUNCTION
• What is the talk?
• How is it crafted?
![Page 3: TALKING SCIENCE, SPEAKING POWERPOINT](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030116/621cf5f75281c33bc00056e5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
WHAT IS THE POINT?
• Are you promoting ideas? Yourself? Techniques?
• What objective content do you need to convey?
• What do you want the audience to walk away with?
• How do you want them to feel?

IDEAS, SLIDES, AND TIME
• You have to: I) Set the context II) Deliver the content III) Wrap up and conclude
• Talk time vs. number of ideas 5 minute talk: 1 idea 15 minute talk: 3 ideas
• Very roughly: 1 slide / minute
![Page 7: TALKING SCIENCE, SPEAKING POWERPOINT](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030116/621cf5f75281c33bc00056e5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
DRAFTING THE TALK
• Make a one-page list of topics and slides
• Highlight photos and data graphics you need
• The first and last slides may be up for a while
![Page 8: TALKING SCIENCE, SPEAKING POWERPOINT](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030116/621cf5f75281c33bc00056e5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MECHANICS OF THE SHOW• Keynote
• Easier to be gracious • Mac only
• Powerpoint • Easier to be ugly and clunky • Cross-platform
• Base it on presentation control
• It is possible, but tricky, to convert one to the other
![Page 9: TALKING SCIENCE, SPEAKING POWERPOINT](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030116/621cf5f75281c33bc00056e5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ASPECT RATIO• Choice depends on knowledge of your venue
You can usually go with “Wide” these days
Standard 4:3 Wide 16:9
Correct
Bummer

INDIVIDUAL SLIDE LAYOUT• Use little text
Notes, not narrative
• Use images Viewing beats reading
Title & Image
Title, Text & Image

INDIVIDUAL SLIDE LAYOUT• Use as little text as possible
• More text is not useful, it is distracting • Viewers will be reading your text rather than
listening to you speak • Use your text as a cue to yourself to speak,
rather than as a detailed exposition • Use diagrams and pictures whenever possible
• Viewers are able to comprehend a picture at a single glance, rather than reading it linearly
• Graphics communicate detailed information better than text or voice alone
• Unbroken text gets wearing on the audience

• Decide what to say
• Outline points and slides
• Little text, many images
• Make form fit function
• Be concise — trim

but when there is nothing left to take away.”
