Tour Dates Confirmed

So, with a lot of hard work from both SMSDrug.net and myself, we have managed to lock down our tour dates. Well, we have locked down all but one, but I am sure they will confirm within the next few days. Fingers crossed....

I think it is going to be an interesting, education and eye-opening trip, for both parties, I hope. I am excited to show what ChEMBL can offer, and for free!!

I aim to keep the blog up to date with my travels, and also to send out live tweets whenever possible.

It's not within the budget for me to get a tour hoodie and baseball cap so I am going to take some household paint and a marker pen to my old hoody and make one. I mean, if Blue Peter can do it, so can I. Right? Right?

Had to share

I just HAD to share these shoes. I need these, need them, need them.....
This is where my inner geek gets excited!!! I try to be cool and hip most of the time but then I see things like this and, no, I can't hide it any longer - the geek comes out!

How It All Began...

I love traveling. Don't know why but there's just something about staying in a new hotel and driving round an unfamiliar town or city that is exciting to me. I also love to teach - whether it's doing a one-to-one tutorial with an A Level student in their dining room or standing in front of a lecture theatre of scientists, I don't care, I just love every bit of it.

So, when the opportunity came for me to combine both, I jumped at it. Ok, so traveling around the UK might not be as glamorous as traveling around mainland Europe or the USA, but  it's still a mini adventure.

I am going to attempt to see 10-15 Universities across the UK to give them a seminar on both SMSDrug.net and also ChEMBL. It will be a half day session, hopefully with time for questions before I hop back into my car and go onto the next city.

I would LOVE to do the tour in the taxi, above,  but I don't quite think that our budget will stretch to something so awesome! I suppose I could try and put vinyl on my own car, but I doubt it would look as good as the taxi.

Right, so I will be using this blog as a way to keep anyone interested up to date as to where I am, who I have seen and where I am off to next.

For now, so long....
