This time next week EGU 2014 I’ll be looking at a sea of posters and enjoying workshops, splinter sessions and talks galore and I literally can’t wait!
You may have noticed (and we apologise), Dan and I haven’t been so good at updating Geology Jenga with regular posts. We have both made the transition into the deepest and darkest depths of thesis writing and it really is an all-consuming thing. They do say a change is as good as a break and that is why I’m so looking forward to the meeting next week.
It’ll be great to catch up with all the people I’ve met through the PhD journey and I’m thrilled that a lot of them are going to be at the meeting this year. The proposed tweetup, will be great for putting faces to twitter handles! If you want to come along, sign up here. And of course, there will be the lovely sights of Vienna to enjoy.
However, it’s not all about the socialising and sightseeing. This year, not only am I attending as a scientists, I will also be blogging for EGU. You can expect me to cover some of the courses and workshops, as well as key note lectures and a range of talks. On Thursday I’ll be mainly covering the developments in my field, palaeomagnetism.
Above all, what I’d really like to do is talk to people about their research and their conference experience. Expect to see me at as many poster sessions as I can physically attend and by all means, talk to me about your work! I’m very keen to interview a range of scientists as part of our 10 minute interview series and will be featuring the interviews throughout next week and also over the coming months. If you’d like me to come and see your work, get in touch! I’d love to hear from you. (@LauRob85 or leave a message in the comments below).
Dan & I will also be tweeting as much as we can, so stay tuned!
