Departmental talk...

Skipping ahead to the end of October, I had the joy of being asked to give a talk to my work colleagues about my PhD studies. Little did I know that just preparing it would take me TWO weekends and a lot of evening work. It was good to be working on stuff I understood though and going through my data again was fun because of all the memories that the work brought back… trips to Thomas Baines and seeing Tom; trips to Mountain Zebra Park; spending time out in the warm sun (or freezing weather) weighing little mice… I miss those days sometimes. Anyway, the talk went alright and most people seemed to enjoy hearing what I did. I even had the honour of speaking to some of my colleagues who don’t normally attend the seminars! I think (and hope) it will be a while before I have to prepare another talk though, still prefer poster presentations :) .
