There's a book!
Now I need to go and get it, thanks for letting me know it exists 🙂

Morrison's videos? Yes he has some very useful things, using it quite a lot in my class

If "better poster" doesn't work, and "wall of text" doesn't work, what does?
I'm teaching a presentation course now and I focus quite a lot on the "better poster" format. As described in MM's video is a bit extreme, but there are many lessons from there to make actually better posters imho

אבוא אצלך isn’t a thing

How do you get copper in post-subduction porphyry deposits? You flush ancient sulfide cumulates with deeper oxidised magmas!

Anything with an ע is top class

No matter how far you zoom in it's all sharp corners. Any finite stretch along the x-axis becomes a terrible mouth lined with infinite teeth. Every pointed sliver opens up into a thousand hungry little razors.

Mathematicians were aghast. (5/n)

And he then *asked himself a question* which he then answered for a further 3-4 minutes before finally getting off the stage. I can't even remember what the talk was about.
