Floating an image to the right in beamer
The beamer way uses columns
and block
environments. You can change the appearance of the block using \setbeamerfont
and \setbeamercolor
applied to block title
and block body
.

Put your parbox
and your image in a tabular
(of course, you can adjust the horizontal and vertical alignments as you like):

I'll just provide you with a starter (at least for the box). The issue of the picture is your use of [t]
and \includegraphics
outside of a \parbox
.
Concerning the box I added tcolorbox
as package. It's very powerful and has a bunch of options you can try.
