BETHS Year 8 Camp Turns 40!
I've just got back from another two weeks volunteering at my old secondary school's year 8 camp. One of the great things about camp is that it gives a chance for students from London to experience the outoors, leave all electronic gadgets behind and for some be away from home for the first time. The activities vary from canoeing, building a rope bridge over the river, to camps own olympics (with some very bizarre events). This year is camps 40th anniversary, and we've been using the same camp site in the new forest for all those years (to celebrate we took the above drone picture).

Invited Talk at Dust Conference in Copenhagen
This week I've given an invited talk at the Copenhagen dust conference on using dust as a tracer input nearby galaxies. This conferences which looks at all aspects of cosmic dust from lab measurements to dust in the early Universe. The conference went very well, was extremly informative and had possibly the best conference 'feast' that I've seen (the wine didn't stop appearing!)

HASHTAG is a Go!
I've received the brilliant news that HASHTAG, a new large program on the JCMT has been approved! With its ~275 hours the survey will observe the whole of Andromeda with SCUBA-2 at 450 and 850µm, as well CO(J=3-2) with HARP in selected regions. The project has a PI for each region, and I'm the UK PI.
