  • I don´t know your workflow, but I use 2 markdown based presentations: obsidian advance slides and Quarto presentations. The former is a plugin for Obsidian, which is the software I use to take all my notes, write my thesis, etc., so It makes it extremely easy to make presentations since all my information is in Obsidian. In the other hand, Quarto is a publishing system (articles, presentations, websites books) that can be easily integrated with python and R. This makes it supper convenient for showing my data to my PI since I can analyze my data and at the same time make a presentation for the data. Besides this, Quarto also integrates with my Zotero library, so I can insert citations. Lastly, one thing that made my Quarto presentations infinitely better that the powerpoints, Is that I can insert interactive graphs with plotly, so when I'm showing my data, my PI is able to explore the data inside the presentation.
