Cross-posted from my NAO Notebook.

This is an edited transcript of a talk I just gave at CBD S&T, a chem-bio defence conference. I needed to submit the slides several months in advance, so I tried out a new-to-me approach where the slides are visual support only and I finalized the text of the talk later on. This does mean there are places where it would be great to have additional slides to illustrate some concepts

Additionally, this was the first time I gave a talk where I wrote out everything I wanted to say in advance. I think this made for a much less engaging talk, and for future ones I'm planning to go back to speaking from bullets.
