Things have happened in the last few days - good and bad.
On the negative side, my application for funding to the Finnish government to cover the cost of my stay in Finland during a research visit to CRADLE (Jan-Apr 2011) has fallen through. This is a major setback as we're talking about a considerable amount of money.
But I'm not at all ready to give up. I'll look for alternative sources of funding in every possible place. I'm determined to make it to Finland and to make the most of it.
On other news, I've been asked to take part as a participant in a research project analysing the use of blogs by researchers. It sounds interesting. I'm excited. It has already made me reflect on the use I make of this space, and that's always a revealing thing to do.
