Home/Talks
Seven talks, plotted honestly.
Every point sits where the talk actually sits: how much physics you need to bring on the horizontal, how long I need on the vertical. Pick a point, or read the list — they are the same seven talks.
All seven showing
- 01 The Last Ten Thousand Years A star spends ten million years burning hydrogen and then does everything else in a hurry.
- 02 Fortran Is Not Dead A working tour of a stellar evolution code with forty years of history in it.
- 03 Before the Main Sequence What STELCOR does to the earliest phase of an 8 to 60 solar mass star, and which assumptions the answer is hostage to.
- 04 Rocketry From First Principles We derive the rocket equation, establish why staging is not optional, and then build and fly something.
- 05 A Radio Telescope on the School Field How a college goes from an idea to a dish that produces data somebody else would want.
- 06 Teaching Computing With a Telescope Assembly language, floating point and file formats, taught against data that has an actual answer.
- 07 Why the First Stars Were Monsters The early universe had no metals, and that one absence set the mass of everything that formed in it.
