University College, Birmingham: 3rd July

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to University College, Birmingham today. Not only do you have fantastic new buildings and learning spaces, but one of the most enthusiastic conference audiences I have had the pleasure of working with. Thanks for the lovely comments on Twitter on #philatucb18. I tried in my keynote not to bore you with too many text-only slides, but include more activities – and it seemed to work! The main slides are here: UCB-2018-ww.pptx (614 downloads)
It was very interesting too to experiment with how many different ways a fine large lecture theatre like yours can be used to engage audiences. Will be very happy to come back! Now home in Newcastle – the journey North is always half-an-hour slower than the timetable – gravity perhaps – something to do with travelling ‘up’ the country compared to ‘down’ I guess?
