Back. Joining the decreasing gang who attempt to blog every day of June.
I’m going minimalist again this year. One pic and one thing I did today … and more if I want to.
WHAT I DID TODAY:
(I am cheating and pre-writing this on Friday 31 May)
Started a six week course through work for people who support communities of scientific researchers, run through the Center for Scientific Collaboration and Community . I am responsible for running an annual computational summer school and have this crazy idea that instead of people forming wonderful connections and mentorships over a three day event, then never seeing each other again…. we could build an online community around the event and .. like…. talk to each other before and after it. I love the idea of the first hour of the next summer school feeling like people who know each other finally catching up in person – rather than a room of strangers.
ONE PIC
It’s well and truly Winter out there, but on my balcony I have flowers and fruit and feel very Springish.
I envy your greenery – it’s quite grey here in Canberra!
Oh it’s lovely to have flowers in winter. I have a pincushion hakea just taking off and the lorikeets are enjoying it too. And a woolly leaved grevillea. A couple of salvias would still flower if my son liked leaving the flowers on the plants, but I can’t have everything.
Your online initiative to build that community sounds like a great idea Kathryn, and I hope it takes off.
