Busy summer

These last months have been a hectic time for me. I've been a teachers assistant in an experimental physics course during April, May and June, and followed a course on X-ray scattering at the same time. I must say that I actually enjoyed teaching (I would never have thought that!), but the course was almost made for me to be teaching in it anyways: Helping students learn LaTeX and MATLAB - two programs I use daily on a pretty advanced level. And then helping them to write some professionally feeling experimental reports and articles. It turned out really nice - and their final exam, a small conference where they each had to give a talk on a small project they had done within some of the research groups at the university, went perfect. The censors were really impressed. So no doubt I will be teaching in that course the next couple of years as well

Last week I went to a large conference in Prague. The conference was on neutron scattering, and I learned a lot of fun new things (and found out that I very much do not understand most Japanese people when they speak English! ). The schedule was very tight, but I still found a couple of hours time to take a few pictures. I'm not sure they turned out very good though. I promise to upload some of them soon

For the time being, I will, however, be even more busy once again. I have to write an article along with my partner about the work we presented in a talk on the conference, and the deadline is getting closer!
