I should like to attend that first talk!

I'm a bit croggled to hear you say that un-sarcastically, since you're a pro and I'm just a guy doing homework to invent a talk for a general audience.

You know real experts in this stuff; people who attend the talk will find out what I've learned in the last ten days or so.

(On the other hand, I recently attended a public talk about New Horizons by a scientist who seemed to have no professional involvement in the mission or indeed in Pluto studies. Apparently he just did some homework, grabbed the pictures, and gave a presentation. It was decent, but the audience had questions he couldn't answer but I could have. No idea why the organizers invited this guy, rather than one of the NH collaborators.)

Ah, but the things you pick out as interesting will be different from the stuff that I might assume is interesting. If nothing else, I'd learn something about how to tailor a Jupiter outreach talk better. :)
