Perpendicular People (With the bit that I forgot to copy & paste in from the Word document...)

Good morning everyone! Once again I am writing this after a crazy but amazing weekend, but this time in my hometown of Glasgow rather than London. (A little observation for you – nobody in England seems to refer to any of the cities in Scotland…...

It’s two weeks to the day since touching down in Boston (as if you hadn't guessed by the title) with huge expectations for what lay ahead – needless to say I have not been let down thus far! There’s a lot to fit in to my first blog...

No blog intended (???)

Hello again everyone! Long time no blog – my apologies once again. So I’m going to start by taking you all back to a week ago on Friday… After the discovery that the Tate Modern is within walking distance from the office, the girls...

Lions and tigers and Pimms, oh my!

Hi again everyone! Time for (a rather late) blog number two… Since I last blogged life has been pretty hectic, but so so much fun. Work wise it is definitely a steep learning curve, but I think the three of us are making good progress. After the...

The Future

Hello all, I have to be honest and say that I haven't actually written a blog in a while, but I thought it was about time I updated you all. It seems so long since I was in NYC (almost a year, wow) and I've spent the whole time wishing I was back...

Only 3 days left!!

Week 7 passed in a flash, just as the 6 weeks before it. As the project I have been working on began to wrap up, I was assigned a second project which was a useful extension to the first. I have spent the last week developing a method that will make the...

It's the final countdown...duh duh duh duhhh, duh duh duh duh duh (my titles are getting worse..it's a theme)!

Week 7 has flown by far too fast and I am sad to say that we are officially in the 5 day countdown to leaving Boston for the summer. Work has reached a steady state, whereby I am comfortable in the areas that I am trained on, and know my daily tasks that...

Ohhhhh Hokey Pokey Pokey...Ohhhh Hokey Pokey Pokey (Or is it Cokey?)

Hello everyone, I can't believe that it's Monday morning and I am sitting writing my blog again! Time is going too fast and I only have 10 more days left in the QC Micro Lab. After thinking that I had all the time in the world, I have not had...

If you ever get the chance to go to Lucerne - you should!

Tonight I have been relaxing at Basel's roof-top 'city beach' but now I have some time to write this week's post. At the start of the week my project supervisor asked me what I'd thought of my internship so far and if there was anything...

Happy Swiss National Day!

Happy Swiss National Day from Basel! It's now the end of week three and I've had another great week. The beginning of this week saw me preparing the work I had done so far, so that I would be able to present it to the rest of my project team....
