Practice talk in Teary today; Jamie, Marissa and myself. Lots of discussion and feedback. Some good general discussion about presentations as well – Marissa mentioned the Oceanographic Institute’s tips for speakers and other resources on her website. Brief notes on changes to make in my talk based on some excellent discussion:
Julie and others point out I should at least reference Type I & Type II Error – statement contrasting scientific hypothesis testing vs managing for collapse.
Consensus that I should open with data from real collapses, _e.g. _North Atlantic Cod.
ROC Curves – Don’t work or aren’t necessary for everyone (I think Peter and I could do without them at least), but most felt they helped substantially. Sounds like I should definitely keep them but explain even more slowly. Some revisions on the explanation movies might help.
Sebastian suggested cross-hair marker indicating the false-positive/true-positive for the current point. Could probably use a few more frames in ‘videos’ too.
Must label blue and red distributions, repeatedly.
Add disclaimers on model generality – illustrate the process
