Avoiding the Pitfalls of Bad Slides

We may not be experts at public speaking, but we are all experts at listening to talks

What do you want from a talk?
![Page 4: Making PowerPoint Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020500/56814bfe550346895db8fd91/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Before planning your talk think about its purpose,
the audience you will be talking to, and the setting.
Don’t assume the audience will all be experts.
Never underestimate your audience!
Check on the time that has been allotted to you.
How big is the room?

What do you think of the following slide?

Emk1 knockdown inhibits lumen formation in MDCK cells:
- RT-PCR: EMK1 is effectively knocked down in MDCK cells 24 hours after transfection with P-SUPER (control) or P-SUPER-siEMK1 plasmid; knockdown confirmed on the right with antibodies to EMK1.
- Collagen overlay assay: cells cultured 24 h on collagen I before being overlaid with additional collagen on the apical surface, analyzed 24 h later. Note the lack of lumen in EMK1-KO cultures.
- Ca switch: control or EMK1-KO cells were plated in low Ca medium 24 h upon transfection with pSUPER or pSUPER-KO. After 12 h, cultures were switched to normal medium for 24 h. Transmission EM of cells sectioned perpendicular to the substratum shows lack of microvilli in EMK1-KO cells.

Of course, it is far too confusing and a clear take-home message does not come across !
This presentation will take you through a strategy for presenting the data in a clear and logical way.

Fonts - Bad If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written
CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ
Don’t use a fancy font that is difficult to read
![Page 13: Making PowerPoint Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020500/56814bfe550346895db8fd91/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Color
Dark letters against a light background
work.Best in small room
![Page 14: Making PowerPoint Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020500/56814bfe550346895db8fd91/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Color
Light letters against a dark
background also work.
Best in large room

Color - BadUsing a font color that does not
contrast with the background color is hard to read
Using color for decoration is distracting and annoying.
Trying to be creative can also be bad

Powerpoint basics:2. Color
Avoid red-green combinations because a large fraction of the human population is
red-green colorblind.
Lots of people can’t read this –and even if they could, it makes your eyes hurt.

Powerpoint basics:2. Color
Other color combinations can be equally bad:

Layout – GoodWrite in point form, not complete
sentencesInclude 2-4 points per slideAvoid wordiness: use key words and
phrases onlyEvery slide should have a heading
![Page 19: Making PowerPoint Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020500/56814bfe550346895db8fd91/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Layout – GoodShow one point at a time:
Will help audience concentrate on what you are saying
Will prevent audience from reading ahead
Will help you keep your presentation focused
![Page 20: Making PowerPoint Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020500/56814bfe550346895db8fd91/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Layout - Bad This page contains too many words for a
presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.

Layout - Bad Do not use distracting animation or sounds
Do not go overboard with the animation
Be consistent with the animation that you use
Don’t animate an object more than once
![Page 22: Making PowerPoint Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020500/56814bfe550346895db8fd91/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Layout
Be generous but meaningful with empty
space

LayoutIf you try to cram too much into a slide, and place things too close to the sides, they can get cut off if you’re using a poor projector. In any case, the slide looks all cluttered and junky.

Style - Good
Use graphics occasionally rather than just words all the time (Smart Art)
Always title your graphs
Clipart should match in style
