Tuesday evening having just come back from my sister Joanna's where I've been editing my thesis. Only ten days to go until I have to hand it in. Starting to panic a bit.
This is obviously my first blog, so more of a test than an attempt to write anything profound.

I'm heading off to China at the beginning of November but before then I have the small task of completing my PhD. I'm going to be working for two years at a university in Beijing as a postdoctoral researcher. By a strange series of winding paths I have ended up as a string theorist, specifically I'm working on something called the AdS/CFT correspondence. I will explain what it is some time soon but not right now. Right now I'm spending enough time already writing about the damn thing. Almost done though, almost done.
