Last night I heard a science lecture. In an NBA arena. An odd combination, for sure, but it makes more sense when you know it was Al Gore doing his global warming thing. I'll skip the political points, and say a few words about the presentation style. We weren't exactly close to the screen...at least the length of a basketball court, and probably farther, off to the side, and elevated (aka the cheap seats). Yet, Gore's visuals worked at even a long distance. We couldn't always see the details, but the message came through loud and clear. Very nicely done. Anyone who ever speaks in public could learn something by watching this presentation.
