Yesterday I gave my first talk about type theory at my school's grad student seminar series, about some of the work I had been doing with homotopy type theory and cubical Agda.

Here is a link to the [slides].

It was not a very great talk so I had a couple of important takeaways.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, unexpected things will happen. I had originally practiced my talk for an hour long session, but projector and Zoom issues reduced it by 15 minutes.
|
||
|
|
I panicked and started rushing my talk, which was already losing people.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Second, I didn't really stop to check that people were following and just continued with my material. I'm not sure if the people watching my talk really understood anything.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Third, I should've recorded the talk.
|
||
|
|
I just kinda blanked out so much during the talk, it's hard to go back and remember what I said and what I didn't.

At least I hope people liked the pizza :/
