Stop Boring People: The 2025 Stack for Scientific Talks (Reveal.js + Chart.js)

Most research talks are PDFs pretending to be presentations. In 2025 you can ship live charts, clean math, and reusable templates—without wasting hours exporting slides.

In this video I cut through the fluff, compare PowerPoint, Keynote, Canva, LaTeX Beamer, and show why Reveal.js + Chart.js + MathJax + Markdown + Python is the sweet spot for technical talks. You’ll see fast demos, a checklist for clarity, and a realistic path that won’t get you banned by your department.

What you’ll learn:
Why static, text-heavy slides fail (cognitive load better than tradition)
The 2025 criteria: clarity, progression, live-ish data, reusability, portability, automation
When PowerPoint/Keynote/Canva/Beamer still make sense—and when they don’t
How Reveal.js + Chart.js + MathJax actually looks in practice (quick demo)
