Talks, Public Output

Here are some talks and other public output that I curate here. Many dates are in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) because, well, this. Some of these may now be rather outdated obviously, but here for my record at least. In some cases there's no way to record the content give so it's mostly for me to keep the dates.

Necessary and Sufficient, my inaugural lecture, with its own post here, from 2016-02-18.

My soaking on 2014-09-07, which was so incoherent that I supplemented it with this blog post.

A small section from one of my above talks in 2013.
