Time flies in Geneva

I haven’t yet completed my second week but I feel well and truly settled in. I love Geneva, firstly, in true British style, I must mention the weather – last night at 6pm I went for a run in 27 degrees heat. Walking to work, I start melting...

...a bit of reflection from a 2011 scholar and some tips for the 2012 scholars

<Insert Witty Blog Title Here> Part 10

08/08/2011 - 14/08/2011 So the beginning of a new week and we didn’t get off to a good start at the power plant. The plant tripped (shutdown automatically, kind of like when you stall your car) because of a vibration in bearing 6 of the steam turbine...
