Thorough library introduction by Louise Gordon. Lovely how my lifelong love and experience of libraries interleaves with all the new info.\u00a0 Library sort of smells like the CSIR library from when I worked there.\u00a0 Odd little flashback.\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s the smell of journals loaded with the effort of many many humans, just bursting.\u00a0 Louise understands the purchasing path of all the books, journals and how it works between them. Ebooks makes it more widely available.\u00a0 Multiple copies can be accessed.\u00a0 Something in there about the changes in publishing benefiting knowledge.\u00a0 The maximising of the spread of good work.\u00a0 Democratisation of the message.<\/p>\n
Love love love what she told me about endnote.\u00a0 Glory be and gush.\u00a0 Who said the one world governance is bad.<\/p>\n
Met with Gavin Clark this afternoon.\u00a0 He answered one of my big questions.\u00a0 The question was where do I find the profiles of companies that are involved in the pharma and bio field in the region?\u00a0 First for pharma! http:\/\/firstforpharma.co.uk\/<\/a> which he put together because when he started he had the same questions.\u00a0 There are about 80 companies in the region he says and what they do ranges from formulation all the way through to synthesis and design.<\/p>\n Fiona McCusker does funded\u00a0 placements within industry. KTP knowledge transfer partnerships.\u00a0 I must meet with her to see what sorts of projects are funded.\u00a0 How can I send people her way \u2013 either from the university or from industry looking for people?\u00a0 Or even just to put new contacts on her distribution list. {Addendum: Joanna says that Fiona is on maternity leave \u2013 is blessed with twins! I hope to be speaking to Suzie Nestor-Robinson}<\/p>\n I will be available to do some training in the area of enterprise, to inspire entrepreneurship.\u00a0 Gavin will pull me in.\u00a0 Must speak to Michael about this as well, I think.<\/p>\n Apparently BBC Radio 4 had a talk at 09:00 today \u201cAndrew Marr on creativity with Jonah Lehrer, Scanner, Rachel O’Reilly and Joanna REC. . .\u201d which referenced business and writing and science and is a must listen http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b01gnq8y<\/a><\/p>\n Gavin advised me on a list of questions that I will ask Paul at Medtronic.\u00a0 Maybe get them tweaked for any company who I talk to thus.\u00a0 Of course Paul is in Switzerland and I can’t expect him to be involved in Newcastle but maybe that is to the good, maybe he will give me difficult news more clearly.\u00a0 I mean, he is far away but he is dutch too.\u00a0 Can’t get more reasons to be direct than that, can I?<\/p>\n what problems and challenges do you have the a uni could delve into? what would it take for you to be involved at the uni? do you need collaboration?<\/p>\n I must look into translational grants, if not for me then to be aware of them for researchers who I encounter.\u00a0 Love that word {translation} because it works well for both people in the conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The smart card \u2013 an RFID card activating an induction loop at each door, interrogated by central computer.\u00a0 What happens if the power is down?\u00a0 Can I lock door or open it?
