These slides are just here to help. I believe in giving back to the field and I am happy to put hours into these slides.
 

I express a lot of my personal opinions in the slides, but I do not carry any personal agenda here. No matter what you will perceive from my CV, my academic path has been quite rough.
 

I apologize in advance if I offended anyone in the process.
I tried to remain as diplomatic as I could, but I also believe in freedom of expression.
