 I gave my last lab meeting presentation for the CMIR today, despite having contracted a cold this weekend that's made my voice sound like James Earl Jones doing Woody Allen. I set myself up with a bottle of water and a cup of hot tea at the beginning of the hour, but they only delayed my inevitable descent into froggy-voiced coughing. The talk went well by all accounts, except mine. I didn't practice the talk at all, except for preparing the slides, so while presenting it i found the order of some slides wasn't in line with how i wanted to talk about them. Also, i stumbled on a few points and was reduced to a stuttering mess of "uhhhh ... well ... you see ...". But everyone tells me it was a nice talk, with Anna even praising my ability to explain things in terms everyone can understand. So i suppose as usual i'm being too hard on myself. Everyone got a kick out of my "going away" slide shown here.
