York slides - as promised

Well I'm back from the symposium in York. All the talks were a very high standard as you'd expect as the 12 speakers were chosen from all third year organic postgraduates that were nominated from at least 6 leading UK universities (Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, York, Durham and Manchester). I was up first and it turned out that my talk was very different to most of the other talks - 9 of the 12 speakers talked about total syntheses. Mine was the only talk including substantial aromatic chemistry and materials chemistry. As with my 2nd year talk last May I got the feeling that noone there really understood much of the materials side of my work so the questions were basic and brief. Anyway - as promised, here are my slides from the day.

Oh - and if any of you have got a phone that runs Windows Mobile I can recommend the ClearVue suite - it acts as a viewer for office and pdf files - so I was able to go through my slides using my phone on the train down.

Updates

It's been a while since I've posted anything here. It's been a bit of a lean spell recently. I'm giving my talk at York this Wednesday so I'll update afterwards and post my slides. Then. next month I've got a 3rd year poster presentation in the department and then my trip to Fpi7. After this I'll post my poster so you can see what I've been working on. Hopefully by then my first paper will have been accepted (by the Journal of Materials Chemistry) and I'll post that up too.
