ReplyDeleteThanks, Paul. Now the organisers can add a Google flag to New Zealand!
ReplyDeleteI listened to Narlikar talk down the Standard Big Bang model at University of Washington yesterday. Nice lecture but wow, I can't believe how bad the speech was.
ReplyDeleteIt was like a boring lecture back from when I was in school 20 years ago. I've been assuming that pedagogy had improved since then. I spent most of the hour watching the clock and estimating the number of slides per minute. It would have taken half the time if he'd just let us read them to ourselves.
Oh dear, Carl, but I'm afraid that this is all too common. In my experience, some people have never felt any need to improve their speaking skills.
ReplyDeleteI went to an enormous effort to learn how to give good seminars, since I was terrible when I was younger. Now they are sometimes good and sometimes average, depending mostly on how welcome I feel. Anyway, I am looking forward to Dark Matter Awareness week.
