Giving a talk

I gave a talk yesterday. I think it went very well. Paul seemed happy with it. I received many good comments.

I am usually not good at giving a speech. I often get choked even when I present my data in our weekly lab meeting. This is not because of English. I am not good at giving a speech even in Japanese.

However, sometimes I feel very comfortable standing on a big stage. This happened yesterday. I didn't want to finish my talk. I felt like to talk about my stuff forever. I don't know why. I even remember that a mosquito was flying in front of the screen. I kinda enjoyed watching it while talking about heterosynaptic plasticity. I wish this happens every time I give a talk.
