Speaker preparation

Thank you for giving a seminar! Here, we’ll give some basic hints.

The audience is practicing research engineers of various sorts (research software engineers, HPC infrastructure people, poweruser researchers, etc.) Most are fairly computational, but there are a wide variety of backgrounds. You shouldn’t forget to give the background about what your are talking about and why, for people who don’t know details.

(more advice here)

A good strategy is ~30 min of background and demos, which ends up taking ~60 min based on audience interest. It’s OK to have only a general idea and let the audience guide the discussion.
