🤔 Are visual presentations professional?
😬 Will I be taken seriously by other academics & researchers if I don't have walls of text on my slides?
😱 What if someone tells me my visual presentation was unprofessional?

We work in a professional world, so being considered "professional" is really important to us. Likewise, being labelled as "unprofessional" while sharing our data is a huge concern.

Academic presentations have a really bad reputation for being boring walls of text. That's probably where the phrase #UsingDeathByPowerpoint comes from. Less text and more visuals is more effective for every presentation. That includes scientific presentations, research presentations, evaluation presentations, and just about any type of professional presentation you can think of. Yup. It's true.🤯

But if that little voice in the back of your mind is making you question that... or, if others around you are saying that visual presentations are "unprofessional..." then watch this video ASAP to learn the truth about "professionalism" that academia doesn't want you to know. 🤫
