Your subject is only marginally more mental than mine, so there's a good chance you'll be a lawyer in about 6 months.

I'm not directly involved in it, its too late in my phd for me to take a proper role in it but the launch was fun. We had a large launch party (with the welsh first minister even...though he was late and missed the launch). As the boosters separated it looked like there was a problem....the entire room was silent 8-)

They got the first images from it in the last couple of days, seems to be working fine and they looked good for early shots. If I decide to go for a Post Doc I'd prob end up going for one relating to it or one of the very large ground based arrays being built.

Cool. On a slight tangent, got talking to a policeman yesterday who later revealed that he had a degree in electronics and computer science. Not entirely sure how that leads to being a copper.

Remember the UK version of Who's Line Is It Anyway?

The pianist, richard Vranch, had a PHD in nuclear physics. Bet he made more money playing piano on the telly though!
