The Food Science & Nutrition Club is presenting a seminar by Todd Diel, manager of academic programs and initiatives and an adjunct industry professor of food science and nutrition. The talk, titled “Your PowerPoint Stinks: A Brutally Honest Seminar About Presentations and How to Stop Boring Everyone,” will be held on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 12:45–1:45 p.m. in Robert A. Pritzker Science Center, room 129.

Most people are taught to create presentations the wrong way, leaving audiences bored and slides ineffective. Whether you’re a student presenting for a grade or a professor aiming to engage a classroom, this fast-paced seminar will show you why presentations fail and how to create slides that people will actually watch, understand, and remember.
