The lack of diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is a significant issue for the sector. Many organisations and educators have identified lack of representation of historically marginalised groups within teaching materials as a potential barrier to students feeling that a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) career is something that they can aspire to. A key barrier to addressing the issue is providing accessible and effective evidence-based approaches for educators to implement. In this study, we explore the potential for adapting presentation slides within lectures to ‘humanise’ the scientists involved, presenting their full names and photographs alongside a Harvard style reference. The intervention stems from an initial assumption that many formal scientific referencing systems are demographic-neutral and exacerbate prevailing perceptions that STEM is not diverse. We adopt a questionnaire based methodology surveying 161 bioscience undergraduates and postgraduates at a UK civic university. We first establish that students project assumptions about the gender, location, and ethnicity of the author of a hypothetical reference, with over 50% of students assuming they are male and Western. We then explore what students think of the humanised slide design, concluding that many students see it as good pedagogical practice with some students positively changing their perceptions about diversity in science. We were unable to compare responses by participant ethnic group, but find preliminary evidence that female and non-binary students are more likely to see this as good pedagogical practice, perhaps reflecting white male fragility in being exposed to initiatives designed to highlight diversity. We conclude that humanised powerpoint slides are a potentially effective tool to highlight diversity of scientists within existing research-led teaching, but highlight that this is only a small intervention that needs to sit alongside more substantive work to address the lack of diversity in STEM.

These files contain individual graphs tracking population dynamics in 104 individual Arctic/Subarctic Alaska communities, over the years from 1990 to 2022. The numerical data underlying these graphs have been archived separately with the Arctic Data Center: Hamilton, L.C. 2023. “Annual population, natural increase and net migration for rural Alaska communities 1990–2022.” Dataset archived with the NSF Arctic Data Center. https://arcticdata.io/catalog/view/doi:10.18739/A28K74Z2B The purpose of this "graphical library" is to provide visualizations of 1990-2022 population change for each town or village in a format that is simple to download, share, and apply to other purposes such as planning, proposals or case studies. The files (identical pdf and PowerPoint versions) include a brief rationale, illustration of the numerical database organization, description of sources, citations and links to published articles, and explanation of the graphical style. These notes are followed by 104 individual graphs, one per slide, organized by boroughs or census areas.

The AI-powered presentation generation software market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by increasing demand for efficient and visually appealing presentations across various sectors. The market, currently valued at approximately $500 million in 2025 (a reasonable estimate based on the typical size of emerging software markets with similar technological advancements), is projected to exhibit a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 30% from 2025 to 2033. This robust growth is fueled by several key factors. Firstly, businesses are constantly seeking ways to improve productivity and reduce the time spent on creating presentations. AI tools offer significant time savings by automating many aspects of the presentation design process, from generating outlines and content to creating visually engaging slides. Secondly, the increasing sophistication of AI algorithms allows for the creation of highly customized and personalized presentations tailored to specific audiences. This is particularly relevant in sales, marketing, and education, where effective communication is critical. Finally, the growing availability of user-friendly AI presentation software is making this technology accessible to a wider range of users, regardless of their technical expertise. However, challenges remain. The market is still relatively nascent, with several companies vying for market share. This competitive landscape could lead to price wars and pressure on profit margins. Furthermore, concerns regarding data security and the potential for AI-generated content to lack originality or authenticity represent barriers to broader adoption. The integration of AI presentation software with existing workflow tools and the development of more advanced features, such as real-time collaboration and personalized content suggestions, will be crucial in overcoming these challenges and driving further market penetration. Significant growth is anticipated in North America and Europe, with emerging markets in Asia-Pacific following suit. The segmentation of the market reflects varying levels of functionality, pricing strategies, and target user demographics. Companies like Microsoft Copilot, Decktopus AI, and others are leading the innovation, offering diverse features and catering to specific needs.

Demographic characteristics and anthropometric data of all participants.

A national analysis has been carried out as a follow-up to the exploratory study ‘Major changes in European public opinion with regard to the EU’, which showed how public opinion had changed in the 28 Member States since 1973.

The new national analysis is made up of three Powerpoint presentations that show how public opinion in each of the Member States has changed since 2007.

1. The first presentation, ‘national public opinion trends’, analyses how the answers to key Eurobarometer questions changed in each Member State between 2007 and 2015, in particular: The image of the EP, the role of the EP and the membership of the EU.

2. The second presentation, which also focuses on individual Member States, is devoted to socio demographic trends. It shows the main differences between the EU average and the national results for the key questions referred to above and for others. It breaks trends down by gender, age and socio-professional category.

3. The third presentation deals more specifically with topics relating to ‘identity and EU citizenship’. The changes in public opinion between 2007 and 2015 are dealt with on a national basis and compared with the European average. On a socio-demographic level, a specific analysis was made of the differences between age groups.
