This is pushing it as far as "talk", but more of a presentation.

Robert Erdmann's keynote at PyCon: https://youtu.be/z_hm5oX7ZlE

The talk centers around Erdmann's use of python in "combining materials science, computer science, and imaging science to help the world access, preserve, and understand its cultural heritage".

The technical complexity and nuance that went into the project was truly jaw-dropping. This was the first talk I immediately felt the urge to share with multiple co-workers & friends.
