Philip Bourne's "Ten Simple Rules"

Philip Bourne is a Professor of Pharmacology at the University of California, San Diego. He's written a brief (zen?) article in which he outlines his "Ten Simple Rules for Making Good Oral Presentations". My favorite is his second rule ('Less is More'), where he says:

Your knowledge of the subject is best expressed through a clear and concise presentation that is provocative and leads to a dialog during the question-and-answer session when the audience becomes active participants.

The article also promotes the use of 'storytelling', simple visuals and repetition. Even better, SciVee.tv has a companion video that features Dr. Bourne explaining his rules with a friendly, easy-to-follow manner.
