Content aside, I just wanted to take a moment to admire the visual design of the presentation. The icons on the top left of each slide; the two-line slide titles and the page numbers; the black, white, and red of the “some papers are lit up” slides; the circles containing rectangles containing portraits; the ‘emphasis’ slides containing just a short sentence in white on a black background (which is both higher contrast and inverted compared to the dark-gray-on-light-gray used for normal slides)… it’s all very fancy without being too obtrusive. Especially for a presentation that’s just an individual presenting at an academic conference, as opposed to some company’s glitzy keynote trying to sell something to a mass audience. I’m impressed.
