Questions

How do you structure a research presentation?
Start with the main finding, then the method, one slide per finding with its evidence, the implications, the limitations and what you will study next.
How many slides for a 15 minute research talk?
About 10 to 12 slides, roughly one per minute and a half. Move tables and extra analyses to backup slides.
Can I turn my research paper into slides?
Yes. Upload the PDF to MakeDecks and it drafts the deck from the paper, which you edit in the browser and download as an editable .pptx or PDF, for free.
