General-audience talks online
Since I came to the University of Toronto, I have given invited
presentations to a wide variety of audiences: from technical string
theory researchers to fourth-graders. Below is a list of some of my
recent talks to a general audience. The usual format is an
hour-long presentation with questions (during and) afterwards.
