Presentations
Technical wizards are not usually the best at people skills. The best bioinformatics programmer that I know is lousy at talking to groups of people. On the other hand, some people with great people skills might have a hard time understanding your technological benefits. What you want in a presenter is the complete package, whether you think of it as a nerd that can talk to people, or a tech-savvy people-person.
Unfortunately, people that are really good at both are rare. If your corporate presentations have been putting people to sleep, and you would rather have people excited rather than bored by your company, contact me.

"Hi, Martin,
I liked your interesting talk in the bioinformatics technology meeting
in Tucson. I am wondering whether I can have a copy of your slides"
