Dear SIG organizers,

would you be interested in a talk about slide design for presentations? If so, let's use this issue to articulate it :smiley:

Thanks in advance!

Tentative abstract

Scientists. They can do wonders with just a microscope. They can design and assemble a rocket, and put a man on the moon. They can revolutionize the world using chalk and a blackboard. Yet there's a tool most of them still don't master: Powerpoint.

We've all been there. Our eyes have been hurt by ugly, cluttered, and uninformative slides. So much unnecessary pain! Let me share with you the tips and tricks I learned from my side-career as science communicator, and please, bring also yours. Let's make this world a bit prettier and enjoyable!
