On March 27, 2014, graduate student Kahina Abdesselam graciously gave a guest lecture to my 4th year Epidemiology class on the topic of, “The Challenges Faced in Methodology and Topology in Sexual Network Analysis: RDS Estimators and Small World Structure.”

A PDF of her slides is available here.

The audio was recorded crappily on my phone from the back of the class, and is broken into two files (one very short, the other longer).

Link to part one.  This is just a couple of minutes of introductory stuff.

Part two:

This is a live lecture that I gave to the graduate students of the Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa, on March 18, 2014, on the topic of career planning for health sciences students.

The audio is pretty crappy (again, sorry).  But if you’re interested, the slides from the presentation are available here.  Please note that all content (except the images) is proprietary, and may not be reproduced without my permission.  You may share the link to this site as widely as you’d like, though.

On March 11, 2014, I gave a presentation to the graduate students of the Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences on the topic of the ethics of reproductive tourism.  The slides from the presentation are here, though do note that the contents of the slides are proprietary and cannot be shared without my permission or attribution.

The audio is crappy (hey, I’m working on it).  But if this topic interests you, check this free book on medical tourism, and my various academic papers on this issue.

This is a live lecture (from Feb 28, 2014) given by me (Dr Raywat Deonandan… in case you don’t know what site you’re on) at the Elizabeth Bruyere Hospital in Ottawa, on the topic of global population health indicators. The audience consisted of family medicine residents.

The audio is absolute shite.  But that’s what you get.  If you want to follow along, the slides are here.  Please note that all content is proprietary and may not be reproduced without my permission, though you may share the link to this site as widely as you wish.

(I’m public about these things: the attendees evaluated my presentation.)

On  Jan 25, 2014, I had a great conversation with two impressive scholars, Dr Graham Sanders and Dr Aparna Halpé, lubricated by unspeakable amounts of alcohol.

The topic of conversation was educational reform.

I was still experimenting with my audio recording equipment, so sometimes the voices get warbly.  I made the mistake of live streaming it to Youtube, then converting the audio back from the compressed state.  Bad idea.  It’s listenable, but not the best quality recording.

It’s really a shame, though, since Graham and Aparna had some very interesting and entertaining things to say… even though the giggling gets a little out of control as the libations flow…
