Six days to symposium!

So exciting! Six days to go 'til Dr James Gates and I head for Wales and the holography symposium. We'll be giving Martin Richardson and Jonathan Ross a hand as they put the finishing touches on the holog exhbition at the Castle.

I will be covering the arty and social side of the conference in this blog (thank you Chindu) and Gates - who is a nanotechnology specialist at the University of Southampton - will be covering the science. James has recently been lured into the dark world of holography - with the use of shiny things - and he I have been teaching holography to young Engineers and Scientists at the University. We will be giving a paper on our problem-based-learning holography project on Day One of the conference.

I will also be giving a paper on fine artists' use of text in holography - and will be doing two holography workshops with students from local schools on the last day.

To those of you who can't be here - you'll be missed! Please keep in touch and we'll keep you informed.
