In my town we have something called The Science Cafe. The presenter has describe an interesting topic in 20 minutes without [computer] slides, followed by Q&A. This is not easy now that conference talks and course lectures heavily use powerpoint. TED science talks are similar.

Mine also. In our case it's called "Science by the Pint". http://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/science-by-the-pint/

Is harder now to find someone willing to talk without slides, or is it harder for the speakers to put together a talk without slides?

> without [computer] slides

Are other types of slides allowed?

That sounds interesting.

I could do my maths/stats stuff with a whiteboard or flip-chart for occasional images.

How do the biologists or ecologists get on? Actual (large, paper) charts?
