  • I’m a biologist/bioinformatician—a lot of my presentations require some schematic representation of the analysis or pipeline.

    I tend to build simple pipelines with PowerPoint and add animations (makes it easier for me to talk through step by step). If it’s complex, I build parts in some other thing (R, illustrator/Photoshop), and animate the PDF/PNG in.

    Equations I try to avoid because most of my audience tends to gloss over them. On the occasion that I’m talking to more computational folks, I’ll build the equation elsewhere, export it as an image, and animate it in with annotations.

    Again, I’m a biologist and present mostly to biologists, so some of this may seem stupid or nonsensical to folks in other fields.
