  Taster Lecture on Fermi Estimates
  This talk will introduce the concept of Fermi estimates, which are a way of making surprisingly good approximations given very limited data and some general knowledge and common sense.  These are widely used by engineers and scientists, and are also very useful in other situations which might be met in day to day life. The ability to make such estimates is an important skill looked for by many employers.
