The scientific community is full of presenting. But the world of scientific presentation is different than corporate presentation - something we uncover in the first 2 minutes of conversation with our guest, Mike Morrison, who has been making some waves in the world of scientific presentation thanks to a viral video he created on his proposals for improving the scientific Poster Presentation.

Vincent Thompson, a Creative Consultant at BrightCarbon helps us better understand Google Slides.

We talk about his history and focus on his book Why Bad Presentations Happen to Good Causes for a fantastic hour of amazing presentation philosophy and talk about what to do - and what not to do - for presentations.

Beauty is subjective, as is slide design, all of which Troy, Nolan, Sandy and this week's guest, Mitch Grasso, have strong opinions on. As founder of SlideRocket (acquired by VMware in 2011) and now Beautiful.ai (an online presentation design app that launched February 6, 2018), Mitch adds great insights into presentation design. Like TV shows that use a news headline for an episode storyline, we take Mitch's new company name, and its mission, as our conversation topic and discuss what makes a beautiful presentation.
