How to give a research talk

At WIT Vienna they had a very nice talk about "How to give a great research talk? How to write a great research paper?" held by Simon Peyton Jones from Microsoft Research in Cambridge. Please find further information here: http://www.wit.at/events/peyton-jones/index.html.

For the non-german-speaking DERI researchers: The slides for the presentation can be found here: http://www.wit.at/events/peyton-jones/Giving%20a%20talk.pdf and here: http://www.wit.at/events/peyton-jones/Writing%20a%20paper.pdf. They also recorded the presentation on video. You can find the videos of the presentation here:
http://www.wit.at/events/peyton-jones/writing_a_paper.ram and here: http://www.wit.at/events/peyton-jones/giving_a_talk.ram. The sound is very poor, unfortunately, but the talk is still understandable. And you need at least Real Player v10.
