Festival of Post Graduate Research
This week I took part in the university’s 11th Annual Festival of Post Graduate Research. This is an event when 50 PhD students present their work to the public by producing posters. We’re judged by a wide range of invited judges and each student has about 4 judges attend their poster. I have to say it […]
PhD events
I thought I’d take the chance to let you all know about some of the upcoming events at Leicester for Post-Grads: 1. PhDepictions – a competition where you sum up your research in a single image, along with an abstract. Unfortunately the deadline for submissions has passed but have a look at the PhDepictions website to see […]

I think this is a little different to the kind of work I discussed in my last post though, this is a exception not the rule. I think my boyfriend […]
Genomes 2014

This was “Microbiology after the genomics revolution: Genomes 2014″ and was held at the Institut Pasteur in Paris. It was a big event with ~500 people attending and there was a lot to see, do and learn. We began our […]
Paris

Today is day 4/4 and tonight we fly home at about 9pm, after that we have to navigate our way home from Luton Airport. I’ve had a good time and learnt a lot, but I’m looking forward to getting home (and for my phone to not […]
