The Lightning Talks at DFTB19

We want to encourage a new generation of educators, and so at DFTB19, Henry Goldstein invited a bright and enthusiastic group to the stage. Their challenge? To condense the findings of a key paper chosen by Henry into just seven minutes. How did they do? You can be the judge of that as you watch:-
