This entry is being written, as so many have before it, on Ye Olde Oxford Tube. Although this is the first week since early September where I have not left Merry Olde England, I have still been somewhat spatially diverse within that constraint.
On Monday, I worked in Oxford.
On Tuesday, I went to Didcot and worked at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
On Wednesday, I went to London and worked at Imperial College.
On Thursday, I went to Sussex to present a seminar at the university there.
On Friday, I went to London at worked with RT at Queen Mary University.
Rounding out the week of domestic travel, tomorrow I will be off to Nottingham for our traditional Samhain ritual.
Many thanks to those who offered encouragement during the writing of my talk earlier this week. As mentioned, I utterly despise preparing presentations... though I love actually delivering them. I was somewhat nervous about giving this talk, as it was brand new, but it seems to have gone over well. I received some very kind words from several people, including adjectives such as "excellent". This was actually reassuring, as a trickle of people walked out about forty-five minutes into the seminar. I was later assured that this had nothing to do with me and everything to do with teaching commitments beginning at 14:00 sharp.
I am returning to Glasgow next week to give the same seminar at the University there and I will be presenting it next month at the University of Cambridge. Based on the responses I got at Sussex, I will tweak some parts slightly to improve them and take about five minutes off the total talk time. Still, the bulk of the presentation will remain as it is now. I love giving repeat performances, so to speak, as the part of the job that I dislike so is already over.
Speaking of which, on the outreach side of things, I have been asked to present my "Neutrino Astronomy" lecture at a London meeting of the British Astronomical Association in March. This is the same talk that I presented last week, to the Astronomical Society of Glasgow, as well as a couple of times previously. Of course I accepted -- should be fun!
