Simulations in aviation and medicine
I gave a talk last week on simulations in aviation and medicine as part of the MUVES seminar series at the University of Melbourne. It covers a wide range of ideas that I hope to capture better over the next few weeks and months.

As an aside, I have recently installed Office 2004 for Mac and this is the first time I’ve used this version of Powerpoint - against all odds, I’m pretty impressed with the Presenter Tools which allow a timer, the notes and upcoming slides to show to the presenter while mirroring only the slideshow itself to the audience. I am also reasonably happy with the web output as per this link. It is now pretty straightforward to prepare a presentation, present it and post it on the web. And with the “save as picture” option for slides, Powerpoint becomes a fairly useful tool for preparing diagrams.
When the tool actually does the job I want it to, I am much less inclined to bag it - though I reserve the right to be deeply offended when people use the wrong tool for their job.
