Many graduate students and professors have a "sink or swim" experience transitioning to teaching larger/lecture classes and giving job talks or conference papers. Most never took public speaking, nor learned elements of effective vocal, nonverbal, or visual communication. Sadly, these deficiencies in delivery can overshadow subject matter expertise and sound scholarship in public speaking contexts, costing credibility. Participants will learn how to implement these principles and practices in the preparation and execution of online, PowerPoint, and extemporaneous presentations, and will have the opportunity to share their slides or recordings in advance for critique. INSTRUCTOR: Abram Trosky (Professor of Applied Communication at Army War College). Please register by Sunday, September 28th. Interested in being notified of upcoming webinars?

Kate Finnerty (Boston University) will speak about Quadratic Chabauty for Genus 2 Bielliptic Modular CurvesAbstract: We present results of computational quadratic Chabauty experiments on genus 2 bielliptic modular curves of Jacobian rank 1 and 2 that have recently been added to the LMFDB. We work over both the rationals and quadratic imaginary fields. In several cases, the experiments yielded algebraic irrational points among the set of mock rational points. We highlight several notable examples and offer a conjecture relating the level of the modular curve to the potential number fields over which these points can arise.Note: There are updates from a previous presentation on the same topic that some of the audience might have seen.
