Going Observing

For observational PhD students this may a big part of why you became interested in a PhD. As well as going abroad we have a 25cm Meade in Exeter which you are welcome to use after some brief training (and then help in astro labs...).

Conferences

Paper Reading and Writing

If you have some science you want to discuss, or paper that interests you, you should feel free to approach any member of the group. This is a large part of our training as graduate students, we won't learn much by sitting mulling things over ourselves and never speaking of our ideas. Tea/coffee time is an especially good time to approach people with your random/insightful question!
