One of the reasons I started this blog was in the hope it would benefit other members of the UQ condensed matter theory group, particularly students and postdocs.
Hence, I am keen they read it and provide feedback.
I want it to be an efficient way of:
- enhancing the mentoring process, learning how I think about science and starting a career in science.
- extending our other meetings
- giving my perspective on some of the seminars we all go to
- communicating some of my excitement about science
- teaching (and re-learning) key concepts
- keeping up with me when I am travelling; where am I? what am I doing? what am I learning?
- providing easy access to information, such as talks I have given, and often-given advice,...
1. to what extent are some of the above goals being met?
2. how could the blog be made more useful?
I always enjoy (technical) science based blogs from experienced academics when they go over some (relatively) fundamental concept. Because, invariably, it's never as simple as we were originally taught :)
ReplyDeleteAnd your excitement is almost always evident, Ross!
Thanks, Joel. Great to hear from you. I am flattered that you like the blog. I should have followed your lead and started blogging much earlier!
