In terms of the web, everyone's pretty busy putting the final touches to the soon to be launched IOP Member's Network - myIOP - and making sure that there are no glitches in the system when it goes live on the 23rd September.
One of the things that we'll hope to be doing is producing a number of short screencasts to show members how to use the system. Everything is very straightforward, so even the most technophobic out there shouldn't worry.
Having seen the system working, one of the things that impresses me is how easy it will be to connect to other member's not just regionally, but around the world too. Exciting times!
Today we've just had an interesting lunchtime talk by Adam Gibson who works in Optical Tomography at UCL's Medical Physics Department, who explained to us all the latest techniques used in medical imaging and how they all work together to help to diagnose and treat different conditions. Again, we hope to put the talk in the near future - so check back soon for the presentation!
I've also just come across CERN's Youtube channel - which is a great resource for any videos about what they're doing. No doubt you'll have come across some people out there who haven't got a clue what CERN is or what they're doing. Forward this video to them:
