I have been neglecting you...

...I'm sorry! I can blame the recent chaos of computers and networks dying - that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Anyway, besides the usual meetings/teleconferences/writing proposals/etc etc etc that make up my working life at the moment, I've got a few bits of interest for you all.

First up, Frances Downey has written an article for The F-Word, all about ICWiP and women in physics.

Secondly, I've decided to take a more active role in the IoP and am putting myself forward to be an ordinary committee member for the IoP's women in physics group.

And thirdly, I've arranged to give my "I went to ICWiP" talk to anyone who'll show up to listen on the 9th December. The way I see it, a lot of the stuff we talked about at the conference is equally applicable to male physicists (or engineers or mathematicians) as well. And it's one of my hot buttons that childcare keeps being referred to as a women's issue, when it's so blatantly a parents' issue.

Got to run - home time!
