New flat, new job...
*waves*
Hey everyone!
Today is my third day at my new job and I'm enjoying it very much so far. I have learned all the boring bits (where the fire exit is etc) and moved onto the interesting bits, like how to mark up a manuscript for typesetter. I only know a few of the technical squiggles so far but they want me to go on a course next month, so hopefully I shall return even more pedantic than ever before!
I also get to decide what size the figures are when they go into the paper, so if you happen to pick up a copy of Reproduction and can't read the axis because the figure is too small it's my fault!
Not that I imagine Reproduction will be your preferred bedtime reading...
I did learn something interesting my geeky science friends might like from the society's newsletter - there is a proposal to set up a network for women in science in the UK. You can voice your opinion at www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=95853383191 or find out more at www.setwomen.co.uk
Also,
spiderwood, if you didn't already know there is already similar organisation in Canada: www.scwist.ca
And I also learned that much geeky fun is to be found at www.askabiologist.org.uk
