So You Want to Speak at the Monktoberfest When JJ Abrams asked the TED organizers what he should talk about, the entirety of their advice to him was "Be Profound." For would be speakers at the Monktoberfest, our advice is similarly straightfo...

5-panel comic. (1) [teacher with long hair next to whiteboard] TEACHER: I’m supposed to give you the tools to do good science. (2) [teacher addressing students] But what *are* those tools?
