You could say this is where it begins. This is my graduation of my Masters of Physics degree (July 2010), with my supervisor (Prof. Boris Gaensicke) and co-worker (Robert Farmer) at the time. I did my degree at Warwick University in Coventry UK and had by this time accepted a PhD at the Max Planck Institute for extraterrestrial Physics in Munich, Germany. I've been meaning to start a blog for a while, so that I could keep track of how my life/career progresses.
This is mainly for my parents, as due to lots of work I can be fairly vague and short about what I've been doing when I talk to them. It'll also be useful for me to look back on when I become old and wrinkly and wish to reminisce about the good old days.
