I bumped into one of the Big Names in my chosen field of research on a conference last summer. He has pretty actively taken me under his wing, prodding me to do my research, feeding me with ideas and encouragement, and pointing me towards the precise ideas I'd need to finish it off.<BR/><BR/>Touring? I just (a week ago) got back from a four-week tour of the US, visiting universities where local researchers had been inviting me to "Pop on over". At most of the universities I visited, I would be happy working, and indeed applied. It looks now as if one of them will end up offering me a postdoc on a research grant they're about to land.<BR/><BR/>One thing I might have to add is, actually, blogging. I blog under my real name, and with regular mentions of my own research interests. At least one of the visits I did was to one of the authors of the paper I -learned- the field from; and that visit started with him leaving an invitation on my blog.michiexilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008302080954798496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006934.post-40380211038822723102008-04-28T17:12:00.000-07:002008-04-28T17:12:00.000-07:00i'm glad you followed all those steps because it m...i'm glad you followed all those steps because it means you are coming home!!! :)<BR/><BR/>i can hardly wait to see you next week.
