Ignite Sydney Talk – 1000 Days underwater with whales

Late last year I was asked to speak at an event called ignite Sydney. The idea of Ignite is simple – make the presenters stick to a rigid format of 20 slides, each of which changes automatically after 15 seconds, giving a guaranteed 5 minute presentation. this is not as easy as you might think and 15 seconds is really not a lot of time, but it was a great experience and a well organised event which I had the privilege of being a part of. I look forward to seeing the next installment of this long standing Sydney event. below is my talk about my life spent with humpback whales.
