Lab 1
The first Crucible Lab was last weekend. It was very tiring - lots of thinking, talking and drinking - but the awardees are a great crowd (following on from previous stars like Sue). Michael has put the photos up here.
The best speaker was Mark Miodownik, winning hands-down with his Materials Library and artistic collaborations. Best poster was Andrew Byde from HP, a talented artist, and best poster talk the enviable Jon Copley, who spends three months each year at sea (or under sea, for preference). As well as networking, pondering career aims, figuring out science policy structures and learning how to handle the media, I was finally able to thank Lord Oxburgh personally for providing the most excellent sausages on sticks!
