Day 41 (and previous days too)

Last week I had another of my education conference abstracts accepted. This time for the Global Learn Conference in Melbourne in March. This one is about developing a classification for types of criterion referenced assessment in university level mathematics. I probably don't really fit in at the conference, which is quite general rather than discipline specific...but they accepted the abstract, so fine!

Soooo...I'm in Sydney at the 15th CTAC conference. I'm talking tomorrow at about 11am I think. I just wrote my talk this evening and you can take a sneak peak (those of you who are here in Sydney) or just a look (those of you who don't get the chance to be here). Should be interesting - I decided to go with a "I'll do the expert overview" type talk, since Masoum (my PhD student) is talking straight after me. So it's quite generic with a bit of chat about the problems related to Chlamydia, multiscaledness etc. No real maths as usual...I'll work on that for my next talk on this sort of stuff, where I will put at least one equation in :-)

I started working on my conference proceedings paper too. It's interesting to do that after writing the talk I think. I'm finding it quite a nice way to go about starting a draft to a paper - I'll have to keep an eye on whether that is really a good idea or not. I'm interested to hear what other people's thoughts are too.
