Knowing how to give a good talk is a crucial skill to have, but it's mostly not formally taught very well. Here's a 🧵on my strategy for how to prepare for the presentation, actually present it, and then answer the questions.

I should have done this ages ago, but I've finally assembled a list of the various methods tutorials/workshops I've taught over the years. If you're interested in techniques like RSA, ANNs, advanced cross-validation, & beyond, check out the notebooks here: markallenthornton.com/software/
