Giving a good talk on what is you do is probably the single most satisfying aspect of a career in academia, as well as one of the very best ways of advancing your career. This week, we talk about talks and how to think about them. MindFeed: the LHC particle accelerator and its approval process. Music: “Sweet Blossom” by Robin Stine (available from Pod Safe Audio) and “Kawika” by Guava Jam.

A nice podcast. I thought I’d mention some supplementary resources:
Advice to beginning physics speakers by James Garland (Physics Today, July 1991)
David Mermin on What’s Wrong With Those Talks (Physics Today, November 1992)
Suggestions for giving good talks by Robert Geroch of the Enrico Fermi Institute
How to handle tough questions from an audience
