A week from tomorrow, 1 September, I will be in Auckland for a MacDiarmid Institute theme meeting (for those of you interested, our research group is part of the "Bionano/Nanobio and Soft Matter" theme) where I'll be giving a talk on my work to date. Also, it looks like in October I will be headed to a one day workshop in Germany where again I'll give a talk on our group's recent progress.
In preparation of these engagements, my goal this week is to do as much work as possible. Hummm, that sounds like what you say every week Tim!? I guess that's true, but the point is this week no gimmicks. This week truely needs to be all about productivity.
Pour on the fact that the PGSA is hosting a BBQ this week and gearing up for out annual 3MT competition (which is looking to be the biggest ever!). Also I am helping (briefly) with a new PhD student orientation and will have my day to day email/meeting obligations. Between a group meeting tomorrow morning and volunteering in the afternoon, my Monday is pretty much a wash for lab work. And on Friday I am scheduled to give a talk to the group, which will partially be a practise for my Auckland talk.
This is a great opportunity to try and put the lessons learned in previous weeks to work. An experiment where the stakes are high. Excellent!
