thanks guys

here are a few comments on your presentation.

* overall very nice job.  pretty succinct, pretty easy to follow

* gary, don't step on your words and ideas when you talk.  practicing
beforehand will help *Lots*

* the slides were a bit texty.  resist temptation to put whole sentences on
slides.  key words and phrases are easier to read and consume.  pictures and
graphs are easy to consume.  Sentences hard to read to catch up if listener
hasn't been paying attention (too much cognitive load)

* answers to questions great.  future work looks good.  hope you have a good
may/summer with it (and I hope you guys get a publication out of it!)

have a great weekend

-BJ
