I understand the powerpoint hate, but seriously when you are presenting data plots you dont want to draw it. You want to show the data. Another benefit of slides are that researchers post them on the internets, with presenter notes. These are often very informative.

> when ... presenting data plots you dont wnat to draw it. You want to show the data. I agree with you whole-heartedly. The criticism of powerpoint is not so much it's broader context. There are plenty of ways to present structured data with computers promoting good-practices. The criticism is that Powerpoint doesn't encourage people to show the data in the first place. TL;DR: This issue isn't what Powerpoint can do, it is what it nudges people to do.
