Napier Connect with la crème de la crème

After almost a whole day with PhD students, this evening I attended a Napier Connect event. Napier Connect is a networking group for female students studying computing, engineering and built environment subjects at Edinburgh Napier University. Its members get together regularly throughout the academic year to meet inspiring women from industry and potential employers - and to socialise.

I'd been looking forward to this particular event for a while because all the speakers are my friends from Edinburgh's professional social media community (including blippers nadinepierce and darcie). They did a fabulous job, each hosting a table where they spoke for around 5 minutes at a time to groups of students and staff about their work and their careers, in speed dating style. It was a really fun evening, with a great mix of staff, students, and guests enjoying the experience of learning from one another in a sociable environment. (I've written a review of the event on my blog if you are interested in learning more about this work.)

I quite like the effect of over-exposure of this clutch of Napier Connect biros in my blip.

Exercise today: walked to work (1 hour). (No morning exercise due to a poor night's sleep.)
