This site provides links to pdf versions of the powerpoint slides from a variety of my talks. They are divided into several broad categories and within each category they tend to be most recent listed first.
Note that almost all of these talks have been developed using the "comic sans MS" font and look best if this font is installed on the downloading computer.
