Another two months have flown by and apparently it's now summer, although recent weather events would suggest otherwise. Work is still going well - I am very busy, which I am assured is a good thing!

Last week I produced two themed issues, one on Computational Biology for Integrative Biology, and the other an issue of Journal of Environmental Monitoring dedicated to emerging investigators. The emerging investigators issue is very exciting as it promotes the work of researchers that are just starting their careers in environmental science. It was interesting to profile these authors for the issue as it was great to see how passionate they are about the work they do and what they want to achieve in the coming years.

Otherwise, my day-to-day activities haven’t changed that much. I’ve nearly completed all my training but despite this, I’m still learning new things all the time because no day is ever the same.

Additionally, the Sports and Social Committee have been very busy organising events recently so there has been a lot to do outside of work. We went go-karting a few weeks ago, which was fantastic; the summer fun-day took place on Saturday, and there’s the opportunity to go to see the London Philharmonic Orchestra at Burlington House, our headquarters in London, later in the year.

Looking forward to the next few months, hopefully we’ll finally see some sun!
