Post-Conference Stuff

I don’t know who else (besides me and Grrl) are planning to hang around the UK after the conference, but if you are, I’ve got a couple of things planned for the following days. Anyone who wants to come along (or suggest other things for me to do) is welcome.
Sunday, 31 August: Go to Down House
Monday, 1 September: Be a groundling at the 1930 performance of Midsummer’s Night’s Dream at the Globe.

If anyone would be interested in visiting Nature (the journal) and seeing round the office, please let me know. It won’t be on the Sunday as I’ll be having a day off (I’ve recently been to Down house and thought it was great), but we could arrange it for the Monday or Tuesday if anyone is around and interested. Drop a comment here if so, or email me at m.clarkeATnature.com or via N Network supermail.

Maxine, perhaps I could begin my Friday science tour at the Nature offices. There’s other stuff round here, like the Wellcome Collection, so it might be a good starting point for those who are interested.
-
Sounds like a plan. I’ll be happy to tag along. :)
-
Sid, I’ve added you to the list of people coming on the tour. I haven’t yet finalised where we’ll be going, but it should involve a few behind-the-scenes tours.

I got a flavour of the tour (as well as Matt’s extensive London knowledge)in a small portion of town around UCL on Tuesday night as we were returning from the pub night. Those of you participating are certainly in for a treat…
-
Ha, I forgot about that. And I didn’t even mention that your hotel (which would be just off the bottom left of this image) is built over land where the first ever passenger train was demonstrated.
-
Yes, Matt, that sounds like a good idea, to start the tour at Nature. I’d better sign up to it then!
-
Excellent idea to start at Nature.
