Posters and Presentations
I am experienced and confident public speaker and have presented scientific talks and posters at international scientific conferences, meetings, and other public events. These presentations generally focus on my research but also include topics such as SCUBA diving or policymaking. I have won several prizes for my oral presentations and posters.
