I don't know what stage you're at, but your supervisor might think its too distracting for your research, the group doesn't have the money to send everyone (though if you're Research Council funded then there is a small amount of conference money, though its only £150 a year - certainly not enough for New Zealand!), or its just slipped his mind. No harm in asking...

Yep, your supervisor should give you a little guidance to start you off - maybe asking for a report on the general field, and then asking you to focus on a few issues. I remember that first day though, feels quite strange! Good to go to some lab events and get to know people.

To get true yorkshire stereotype bonus points I think you'd need to go the extra mile and get a ferret in on the action


I was sitting in a park in London on Friday, and a guy with a bowler hat was walking his ferret on a lead. All these Italian tourists were going mad...
