Talks

I don't particularly like giving talks, but I must admit I sometimes enjoy preparing the slides! Well, more so if I can do it with LaTeX or OpenOffice, insofar as possible I try not to use any M$ PowerPoint! You may therefore also like to take a look at the malavita (Mattia's LaTeX Viewgraph Tactics) package which I developed while preparing my talks. As of early 2003, however I've also been using OpenOffice presentation tool with a certain frequency, and I'd say it's (if not exactly mature) pretty good! If you're interested, you may consider taking a look at my mostly trivial pieces of advice on computer-based presentations.

Posters

Preparing posters is (if only the first few times) a particularly interesting LaTeX exercise...

• "The LARI Method for ISO-CAM/PHOT Data Reduction and Analysis": PDF poster as presented in Sigüenza, Spain, in June 2002



• "The LARI Method for ISO-CAM/PHOT Data Reduction and Analysis": PDF poster as presented in Trieste, Italy, in April 2003



• "Final Analysis of ELAIS 15 $\mu$m Observations": PDF poster as presented in Venezia, Italy, in October 2003

And after that I started keeping an online schedule!
