I'm on a mission to end #DeathByPowerpoint, so talks & lectures are more accessible and inclusive.
Switched from my research career to help academics & researchers create engaging presentations 🦄✨

@sarahkedney yeah it was a must-do for me because my ADHD has been extra feisty lately.
What's your Big Project?
@JulieSeraSpray yayyy your students will appreciate that so much.
Yup! All my training is avail to randos 😅
Deets will be here: https://stellarslides.com
I'll be doing a big update to my website soon to account for this new course. Feel free to dm me here with any questions!
Phew! 😅 My social media hiatus is just about over. I took a break from it so I could focus on a Big Project.
I think it's been over 2 months since I've really hung out on here?
Just popping in to say hi everyone 👋
The Big Project was a whole new online course about how to storyboard talks & lectures to make any "dry" / educational content engaging. And of course, strategies for storytelling with data.
Very excited about it 🙌
@ekatko what a cool question! I'm afraid it's beyond what I know as I've never used either of them and I can't say much.
From what I've seen, graphs imported into slide software from analytic software break a lot of dataviz rules.
While convenient, it still means the defaults need to be changed a lot so that it's effective, accessible, and engaging.
But that's a very general impression I have. Not a deal breaker just something to be careful about.
@Bextraordinary ugh yeah I was like... Daaaaaamnittttttt after reading about it helps complete the stress cycle. I do think it'd help me.
But it's so cold outside 🥶
