GSW

My talk for the Geological Society of Washington last night went well, but it was a bit of a personal disaster for me. I was given a 20 minute time limit and I went long. I new I was in trouble when I got the 2 minute warning and I was only halfway through my slides! I started with my GSA talk, which was also slated for 20 minutes but only took me 17, and added a few slides. But they were background slides with a lot of explanation. I figured that was important for a general audience of geologists. I probably don't need all of my data slides anyway. I should just show the pertinent results and have that be the end of it.
