Talks and Lectures
The difference between a talk and a lecture is that talks are shorter and less pretentious, usually for the general public.
Lectures are usually given to a specialised audience.
I have a standard repertoire of talks described in the prospectus here [.doc].
Most of them have a physical counterpart as PowerPoint presentations, with written notes or a related essay.
Some have been recorded in video format and can be found on YouTube.
Details of the content of many of these themes can be found elsewhere on the web site.
