Talks Timeline
In the past, I was more mentorship-oriented. This fall I decided to re-engage with the community. I will add talks as they are scheduled or when a proposal is accepted. Each talk on the timeline will have a single entry, regardless of how many updates it receives. I will add content as it becomes available and make necessary updates inline.
