I enjoy sharing my research and outreach activities with audiences ranging from astrophysicists to gerontologists. For the cost of a plane or train ticket, cookies, and perhaps dinner, you too can enjoy my traveling production! Here are a few out-takes of my slides to examine before you spend your hard-earned (or granted) dollars, as well as list of dates and locations of my talks.
