This is for building conference talks, thesis defenses, and research presentations with an emphasis on visual design over bullet point hell. It uses Nano Banana Pro to generate complete slides as images, then combines them into PDFs. The workflow is straightforward: plan your deck, generate each slide with prompts that include your formatting goals and citations, attach the previous slide to maintain consistency, and combine everything. The source is refreshingly opinionated about avoiding text heavy slides and actually incorporating your data figures into results slides. Works with both PDF output and PowerPoint/Beamer if you need editable files. If you've ever sat through a defense with 40 slides of Times New Roman bullets, you'll appreciate what this is going for.

Scientific Slides

Overview

Scientific presentations are a critical medium for communicating research, sharing findings, and engaging with academic and professional audiences. This skill provides comprehensive guidance for creating effective scientific presentations, from structure and content development to visual design and delivery preparation.

Key Focus: Oral presentations for conferences, seminars, defenses, and professional talks.

CRITICAL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: Scientific presentations should be VISUALLY ENGAGING and RESEARCH-BACKED. Avoid dry, text-heavy slides at all costs. Great scientific presentations combine:

  • Compelling visuals: High-quality figures, images, diagrams (not just bullet points)
  • Research context: Proper citations from research-lookup establishing credibility
  • Minimal text: Bullet points as prompts, YOU provide the explanation verbally
  • Professional design: Modern color schemes, strong visual hierarchy, generous white space
  • Story-driven: Clear narrative arc, not just data dumps
