Presentations
I've presented on all sorts of things over the years. I often get asked to present the findings of my PhD thesis to different groups. Sadly, I'm not always able to accept these invitations, but hopefully these two recordings might be of interest.
This one is around 35 mins, and gives a quick overview (hosted by the CLand and Convergence Institute, 2024): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAElcfg3ETM
And this one is a little more in-depth (around an hour, with a 30min Q&A, hosted by the IPSL Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace, 2023): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDMdQD2oiBQ

I surveyed a bunch of scientists from the National Centre for Atmospheric Sciences about their views on science and faith. You can read the blog post about it all here: https://ncas.ac.uk/being-faithfully-scientific/
