    Or maybe a full heart is enlarged? I’m pretty sure banshees have clear eyes. So maybe it means you’re a screamer with cardiomyopathy?

    I was wearing one of their tie dyes to a later Olympic event in Athens (soccer), and a group of drunk people around me thought I was Lithuanian. I did not try to dissuade them.

    I still have the shirt somewhere . . . .

    Heh. Sadly, just another webinar.

    Does anyone really learn via slides and webinar?

    No. And I present using slide via webinar. And the answer is no. There is no substitute for in person learning opportunities.

    Yeah, me too. Sometimes I think most of white collar office world is PowerPoint and excel and chevron charts and meetings. I’m not sure what many people actually do.

    I completely revamped my presentation style a few years ago. In medicine we pretend that presentations are a means to deliver information. They are not. They are means to connote importance on the part of the presenter. I got fed up with giving lectures and feeling like very few people understood the material. I started to think it was because the PowerPoints were what I thought was important, and not necessarily what the learners thought was important. So now I do almost exclusively Q and A utilizing a white board like a college lecture. For big conferences you can't do this, but I LOVE these presentations because they are always so different.

    ^ I came to enjoy presentations a fair amount. I had to learn to put myself in the place of the audience, no resorting to esoteric acronyms and the like...don't drone on them.

    Most presenters are absolutely terrible at presenting. They are fantastic at research. They are generally exceedingly knowledgeable. They just absolutely blow as presenters. They either read their slides or their slides are too busy.
