I do a proportion of my speech topics on science and
technology heavy topics, and the speech I gave tonight was
one of them.
And an interesting thing happens with them. I have people
come up to me afterwards and tell me about something they
learned or something they understood better than they did
before. Tonight was no exception.
The topic was heavy on genetics, and I had a member come up
afterwards and say that he now understood how recessive
genetic traits worked. (Essentially you need two copies of
the gene, one from each parent, for the trait to be
expressed. With a dominant trait, you ony need one copy.)
And on one of the short evaluations, I had a member mention
how she was amazed at how I could take these kinds of topics
and bring them down to laymens terms.
In many ways, these are nicer to get than even a good
evaluation or a 'Best Speaker' ribbon. A real warm fuzzy.

A scientist can discover a new star but he
cannot make one. He would have to ask an
engineer to do it for him.

Congratulations, John! Obviously you are a very good speaker. Yes, I know
what you mean. Comments that show people really listened and understood
what you said mean more than "Good speech!" or winning that blue ribbon.

Confirmation that you've reached your audience is the best remuneration that
a speaker can receive.
Congratulations, John, for consistently bringing excellence to your clubs
and to this newsgroup.

One has to wonder what a person like you is doing in Toastmasters, you say
women should expect to be raped. and that you would personally castrate gay
men

Socrates taught his students that the pursuit of truth can only begin once
they start to question and analyze every belief that they ever held dear. If
a certain belief passes the tests of evidence, deduction, and logic, it
should be kept. If it doesn't, the belief should not only be discarded, but
the thinker must also then question why he was led to believe the erroneous
