Cairns Here I Come!
I’m currently sitting in the Qantas Club in Sydney watching the sunrise over the city - a really amazing site. I’m here because I got upgraded to business class for my flight to Cairns and subsequently get free use of the Qantas Club. I’m off to Cairns for the week to attend the 9th International Workshop on the Interrelationship of Plasma Experiments and Space (IPELS2007), which is a conference on space physics that my research group SP3 is running. I’m really looking forward to conference and making the most of the warm weather. It was 28 degrees there yesterday and the minimum was higher than Canberra’s maximum yesterday!
It will also be nice to have the conference completed as I have been on the organising committee and been responsible for the conference website and online abstract submission system etc - quite a time consuming task. I will be presenting a poster at the conference so fortunately I don’t have the stress of doing an oral presentation. My abstract on my work on the Helicon Double Layer Thruster can be found here. The conference includes a day out at Green Island so I will do my best to post some photos.

[…] Yes, I am still alive! Unfortunately I haven’t spent the last 2 months on holidays in Cairns either, as James suggested here. Life has been very very busy. Since the IPELS2007 conference in Cairns so of the following has transpired… […]
