Outreach Presentations

I am now uploading the PowerPoint/PDF files for outreach presentations here — in case you were at a presentation but want to look at something again. To avoid potentially tricky copyright situations, most PowerPoint/PDF files can only be opened using a password, which was given out at the talk. If you were at the talk but don’t have the password, please e-mail me.

If you do not have Microsoft PowerPoint, you can download the free PowerPoint Viewer for PC or Mac.

Other presentations are not password-protected and are marked “Open Access”.
