Finally starting to write my talks for the intro to mapping class groups mini course I& #39;m giving next week and I am reminded that I& #39;ve never taken a class or attended a mini course on Mod(S) before (at least not one that I can remember lol).
I mean it& #39;s fine. This is my entire research area. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß"> I just wish I had old notes to look back on.
Also I keep going back and forth about how to deliver the talks. I finally got an ipad which is cool, but do I make slides and then annotate them? Or just write regular notes like I do for a chalk talk and treat my ipad like a black board? I think I& #39;m leaning towards the latter.
Oh also I& #39;ve been looking up mini courses to watch on youtube in preparation (watching/listening to one by Yair Minsky right now at 2x speed). Can you tell I& #39;m nervous? lol.
How many "oh also"s am I going to tack onto this thread throughout the day? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen">
