A TEDx Talk Breakdown
I recorded a TEDx talk breakdown in the weekend. This is something I have been putting off for a while, I was unsure if anyone would find it interesting. The video is not perfect, but I decided to hit publish this morning anyway. All feedback welcome!

Hi @Chris Hanlon Thanks for making this video recording available. One small request -when background music is added, it can be difficult to hear the spoken content clearly. Would it be possible to lower or remove the music in future recordings?
Introduce yourself...
Let everyone know who you are and where you are. And tell us of the most memorable live presentation you saw or gave. 😃

Hi I'm Lisa, I'm an Associate Professor in Crime Science. I've seen many memorable talks in my time, but I think the one that came to mind when you prompted me to think about it was the Dean of Science at Oxford University speaking at a Women in Academia event. Someone asked her what 'bringing her authentic self' meant to her and she answered that we must avoid becoming caricatures and that her favourite way to unwind was watching Love Island with her teenagers. There was an audible gasp in the room as lots of young women in academia saw that they didn't have to be constrained to an intellectual persona 24/7, they were free to have whatever tastes they liked. It was fun to watch!
