Formally reviewed
It's been some time since my last post, I put this down to being very busy.
Last week I had my Formal Review (like an Annual Review, but they call the first one a Formal Review). It went well and brought up some interesting points to think about.
I'm currently working on a range of things. The literature review continues (and will continue for some time yet, as guided by my case studies), I'm developing a conceptual framework, on which to base my methodologies and also doing things like finalising my poster for the regional competition, preparing my presentation for a conference and writing another conference paper.

And the winner is...
Last Wednesday (22nd April 2009) was the De Montfort University Research Degree Students' Poster Competition and Research Showcase event.
I had entered a poster and so got there ready to present my Poster and Research to a panel of judges and other interested parties.
At the end of the day the results were announced, and as you can imagine I was very pleased when I was awarded first place!
This means that I will now go on to the Regional Finals with the top-five poster winners from DMU.

And so it continues...
The registration document continues.
I've finished my poster and submitted it for the competition. People are coming to support me and it on the day, so that's really good.
My research has recently focused on interdisciplinarity and disciplne boundaries, as I'm writing a paper on this for a conference.

Variety is the spice of life
This week has included a lot of variety. I've been working on my Registration document, conference paper, general research and organising TECH1001, the module I'm a Part-Time Lecturer on.
The week started with a course in Microsoft PowerPoint. I managed to get through the work in half a day, so got on with some research in the afternoon.
Yesterday (Wednesday) was nicely varied; taught in the morning, went to Special Olympics Roadshow to get information about volunteering, lunch, watched a Flash Mob outside the Campus Centre, went to the library with Motje to give feedback about the new research students only rooms, ammended Registration document, went to watch Ben in the BCS Competition, and woohoo, Ben won! Obviously Ben's success required a celebration, so there was a visit to Level 1 for a quick drink.
Today (Thursday) I've been working on my poster and conference paper.

Keeping Busy
It's a busy week, with lots going on.
Yesterday (Wednesday) I taught in the morning, attending a PRSA talk in the afternoon, followed by a cup of tea (thanks to Motje) over in MTI, then a focus group, then a chance for some research to be carried out and then Candidate's Questions at the Student Union.
Today (Thursday) I've been working on my entry for the Poster Competition. The forms have to be in next week, so I'm trying to make sure that I'm happy with the title and general content.
Still, it's better to be busy and have things to do.

Busy busy busy
Well, once again it's been a busy few days in the IOCT.
I've been doing lots of things, including pondering my Registration document (it requires quite a lot of thought), reading (again, lots of) and taking note of important things, working on a potential poster design for the Poster Competition, photocopying books and visiting the library.
Today we had our first IOCT PhD Researchers lunch. It was good to meet IOCT-ians I hadn't previously met and to hear what they're working on. It was also great to catch-up with the students I do know and hear how their projects are progressing.
