"A huge thank you for the most fantastic presentation. You have a real skill in explaining things simply without being patronising, comparing complex things with relative example and still keeping the wonder and excitement throughout. That is a very rare mix, and the rapt faces in the audience were testament to that. As was the feedback afterwards - everyone felt similarly educated and inspired and commented on your fantastic presentation.We couldn't ask for anything more than that."

some point in the future for another presentation."
