Presentations.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you very much to everyone who has invited me to do presentations for them over the years, especially those who have invited me back for repeat visits and have continued with Zoom presentations to enable me to visit more distant groups. It is very much appreciated.<\/p>\n

I do enjoy doing these talks and meeting up with great people, but I have now started to reduce how many talks I do, as I am so busy with many other things these days.<\/p>\n

I will still be doing the odd talk now and again, especially if it is on Zoom, so please do get in touch if you would like me to do a presentation for your group.<\/p>\n

My standard charges for my presentations are \u00a345, plus travelling expenses at 45p per mile.
\n<\/strong><\/span>Zoom presentations are \u00a345.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

These are not purely static picture presentations, many of my talks also include video and sound, and in some cases, audience participation\u2014truly multi-media productions.<\/p>\n

I have a Post Graduate Certificate in Science Education and am able to adapt my presentations\u00a0to suit any audience.<\/p>\n
