Hi Ed, thanks for the feedback. I’m glad you found the post inspirational.

re: handouts. Perhaps this is useful to you. I often turn my talks into articles. Basically, I send the transcript of the talk to an Editor who fixes it up (for a reasonable fee). I then polish it and post it. This is more useful tha. The slide deck only. And it’s much less effort than writing a post from scratch. Also the writing style is more direct and I was told can be more enjoyable to read than a dry technical article. See this for an example https://kamounlab.medium.com/keeping-up-with-the-plant-killers-c37bf7e91c0c
