  4. I developed a passion for public speaking over the past 6 years. Thus, I find it genuinely horrifying that we start to sound more and more like AI. Plus, who needs a human to regurgitate AI content?

  5. My next talk will contain 75 slides.
    It must be my most slippery presentation to date.

    Now that this is done: rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.

  6. It was an honor to give the closing keynote at the George Washington University's OSCON.
    Thanks to all the organizers and volunteers for putting together a great event. I attended many insightful talks about open source.

  7. Are scientists funny? In a survey of more than 500 presentations at biology meetings, two-thirds of attempts at humor drew polite chuckles or none at all, and only 9 percent prompted enthusiastic laughter.  Almost 60% of talks included at least one attempt at humor. "That's higher than I would have thought. Good for the biologists," says Taylor Soderborg, a physician-scientist and scientific comms professional who was not involved in the study. Here's more from Nature, plus a link to the full study, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Do you regularly give speeches and presentations? What's your approach to trying to add humor?
