a blackboard talk on orbital torus imaging

I gave the brown bag talk (chalk only) today at the NYU Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics. I spoke about torus imaging—using moments of the abundance distribution to measure or delineate the orbits in the Galaxy. I focused on the theory of dynamics and what it looks like if you can insert new invariants. The questions were great, including hard ones about non-equilibrium structures, radial migration, and chaos. All these things matter! Talking at a board in front of a skeptical, expert audience is absolutely great for learning about one's own projects, communication, and thinking.
