You can do it earlier leaving you 5mins to wrap up. This lets you control the last thing they see and hear, rather than teh quesions.
What do you want to leave them with?

Generally speaking*, avoid standing behind things.
Desks, computers, lecterns, we want to connect with audiences and having a literal barrier between you and them hampers that connection.
*There are exeptions to every 'rule'

Right, let me talk about slide templates.
Most universities have an official slide template everyone is told to use.
More often than not these are rubbish.
Focusing on splashing the university logo around so much there is no space for actual content.
Iโm going to call it outโฆ just stop putting lots of text one your slides. You know its bad, I know its bad, everyone knows its badโฆ so can we just not?
