Below, I list some of the presentations I have made to public audiences. Where possible given the 25MB file size limit on this site, I also include links to the slides I showed (but beware that even the low resolution versions can be tens of megabytes). These talks were mainly aimed at audiences of physicists, so general physics background knowledge is assumed. Of course, the words that were spoken during the presentations are not available; however, by looking through the talks you can still get a feeling for the sort of work particle astrophysicists do, and what the experiments are like.
