Having been really impressed with the last conference in New York in November, I was really looking forward to having PyData closer to home. With lots of great talks on subjects from Machine Learning to Pharmaceutical drug discovery, the weekend did not disappoint. Ian Ozsvald has written up a good description of all the different activities. https://www.ianhuston.net/2010/09/durham-uk-cosmo-meeting/ Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:23:14 +0100 https://www.ianhuston.net/2010/09/durham-uk-cosmo-meeting/ Durham University, and in particular the Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology hosted the annual two-day UK Cosmology meeting this year. There were lots of very interesting talks, and I hope to give a flavour of some of the issues that were mentioned over the course of the meeting. The list of participants and the programme outline are on the Durham website, however I do not expect the slides of the talks to be uploaded except perhaps by individual speakers. https://www.ianhuston.net/2010/03/customising-beamer-presentations/ Thu, 25 Mar 2010 17:14:23 +0100 https://www.ianhuston.net/2010/03/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. https://www.ianhuston.net/2010/03/relativity-cosmology-seminar/ Thu, 25 Mar 2010 14:39:08 +0100 https://www.ianhuston.net/2010/03/relativity-cosmology-seminar/ Yesterday I gave my first seminar as a postdoc in the regular Relativity and Cosmology series at QMUL. People seemed to engage with the material and there were quite a few questions at the end. The slides for the talk are available as a pdf or through the embedded widget below. My style for talks is heavily skewed towards minimalist slides with lots of verbal explanation so without having me beside you to guide you through them they might be hard to understand. https://www.ianhuston.net/2010/02/next-uk-cosmo-meeting/ Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:58:46 +0100 https://www.ianhuston.net/2010/02/next-uk-cosmo-meeting/ The next UK Cosmology meeting is taking place in Lancaster on the 24th February. These meetings provide an opportunity to find out what other cosmologists around the country are doing and to establish and cement working relationships. The deadline for registering your interest in attending or giving a talk is tomorrow the 16th. Funding is being provided for travel costs and PhD students and postdocs are especially encouraged to apply to speak.
