Outreach lecture to teachers
I gave a lecture to secondary school teachers this week as part of the Goldsmith’s Company’s Science for Society Course on astrophysics.
Having heard about the Big Bang model and some of its problems from my colleague Dr David Mulryne, I was given the task of outlining how the inflationary paradigm tries to solve these problems and some of the reasons we think it is a good model of the early universe.

Customising Beamer Presentations
Someone asked me how I achieved the effects on my slides in the talk I gave at QMUL, so having written them an email outlining all the customisations I usually make, I thought the subject might be worthy of a blogpost.
I use the Beamer package for LaTeX which is a great way to include mathematics in your slides, and is pretty straightforward to use if you are proficient with LaTeX.

Cosmo09 roundup
The Cosmo09 conference took place last week in the picturesque surroundings of CERN with lots of talks, a lot of conversation and not a little French/Swiss beer. Videos of the plenary talks are now available and the slides of every talk (including the parallel sessions) are listed in the conference programme for each session. There are a few personal notes on the sessions in the FriendFeed group.
My talk was on Thursday afternoon in the inflation session.
