Talks & posters

After I exceeded a few dozen, it seemed like it probably didn’t make sense to list all my talks and posters individually anymore. (As of November 2020, the count was up to 31 invited talks/seminars, 17 contributed talks, and 32 posters.) But in the event you saw one somewhere (or saw the abstract for one), and you’d be interested in getting a copy or learning more, just get in touch and I’d be more than happy to oblige!
