New things I tried in January 2018

January 29, 2018January 28, 2018 In Becky's Head5 Comments

I still find it weird to write 2018 instead of 2017. I guess that’s going to last a while. Anyway, as usual I’m doing a quick roundup of some new things I tried this month. It feels like January has been kind of non-stop, which isn’t great because December was too and, honestly, I need… Continue reading New things I tried in January 2018

Venturefest Scotland

September 27, 2017September 27, 2017 In Becky's Head1 Comment

Last week I attended Venturefest Scotland in Glasgow at the Science Centre. As a recently ex-academic, it’s a bit strange to me to attend a conference with such a different angle to the ones I’m used to. Venturefest is a business and innovation conference (I think they call it a summit) that has a real… Continue reading Venturefest Scotland

Getting ready for my first day at work

July 15, 2017July 14, 2017 In Becky's Head6 Comments

My five weeks between finishing work as a postdoctoral researcher and starting work as a trainee patent attorney is almost up! Let me tell you that the time flew by and, no, I am not totally bored and climbing up the walls. Five weeks is not enough time for me to get bored in, I’m… Continue reading Getting ready for my first day at work

New things I tried in May

May 29, 2017May 28, 2017 In Becky's Head6 Comments

As usual, this month I’ve been going out of my way to try new things. It’s a habit I strongly recommend and I always enjoy looking back at the end of the month to see what I’ve been able to try. This month I’ve tried: 1. Visiting Croatia!     We spent a week on… Continue reading New things I tried in May

New things I tried in January

January 30, 2017May 10, 2017 In Becky's Head6 Comments

Last year I ran a series of blog posts, once a month, in which I listed 5 new things I’d tried in the previous month. It meant I was always looking out for new things to try, however big or small and that I could always look back on what I’d been getting up to… Continue reading New things I tried in January

STFC Public Engagement Event

November 11, 2016May 11, 2017 In Becky's Head6 Comments

On 4th November the STFC public engagement team visited Glasgow. The STFC is the Science and Technologies Facilities Council, responsible for dishing out funding to a lot of the physics research that goes on in the UK (among other things) and the group which funded my PhD via the School of Physics and Astronomy. The… Continue reading STFC Public Engagement Event

Book review: Man vs Maths

October 30, 2016July 1, 2017 In Becky's Head2 Comments

A while ago I was talking to my friend Tim, who I met when writing for The GIST (the Glasgow Insight into Science and Technology, a science magazine and outreach organisation). Tim told me that as well as finishing his thesis for his maths PhD he’d agreed to write a book about mathematics. If you… Continue reading Book review: Man vs Maths

New phone!

August 12, 2016August 12, 2016 In Becky's Head7 Comments

Honestly, I never really wanted this. I wanted a good, small phone, something smaller than my lovely little Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini without basically being the ultra basic phone parents buy for their children. Sadly, such a thing does not exist. Trust me on this, I did the research. Don’t tell me I should have got… Continue reading New phone!

Visit from my parents

August 10, 2016August 10, 2016 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

Remember how my sister and her partner visited a few weekends ago? Well, the very next weekend my parents visited. I guess this whole moving thing made people want to come stay in Glasgow one last time before I left (although, there’s no reason why they won’t be able to stay with me in Falkirk).… Continue reading Visit from my parents

Smartphones are too big

May 5, 2016May 5, 2016 In Becky's Head4 Comments

My first real smartphone was an HTC Desire S Mini. I loved that thing, it did everything I wanted it to. It ran Android, the camera was surprisingly good for the time, it never glitched, crashed or let me down. Plus, it was kind of cute and it was small enough to fit in my… Continue reading Smartphones are too big
