[Miscellaneous] ROAD TRIP!
Later today the blog will be going quiet for a bit, as I'm about to embark on a road trip around the UK. The next 11 days will see me drive up and down the country travelling from event to event.
I'm starting off in Sheffield at the RLSS Speeds Championships this coming weekend. Two days of the fastest lifesavers competing to be best in the UK. It should be fun, but I'm not competing; I'm going down to shadow the organisers and get some last minute help and tips for my own competition.
After that I'm going down to London for a two day conference at the Royal Society, before heading to Chicheley Hall (near Milton Keynes) for the associated discussion meeting. I'm particularly looking forward to the latter, as it should be a different atmosphere to a normal conference. I'm expecting a much less formal structure, which will be a nice change. While I'm at both conferences I'll be poking around to see who's got postdoc positions opening up soon as well, so hopefully some news on the job front soon.
After that I'm going to Bath for the BULSCA Student Lifesaving Championships. Which I'm organising. I'm feeling on top of things at the moment, but I'm sure that won't last. Particularly with the conferences, which will somewhat limit my ability to communicate with everyone else just when I really need to sort out all of the last minute issues. Oh well, it can't be helped and I'm sure will work out for the best.
Anyway, that's my itinerary for the next week and a bit. Wish me luck!
