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

I do enjoy giving these talks and meeting great people, but as you can see below, I have now started reducing the number of talks I give, as I am so busy with many other things these days.<\/p>\n

I will still be open to giving occasional local talks, especially on Zoom or at short notice, so please get in touch if you would like me to give a presentation to your group.<\/p>\n
