Some Talks and Things

Metastable SUSY Breaking - Given in various places (2008).
Why is SUSY Breaking so Difficult?! - Graduate lecture given in Heidelberg (Feb 08).
Exploring the AdS/Cft Correspondence - Student seminar in Durham (Oct 06).
I prepared this poster for the International School of Subnuclear Physics in Erice (2006) - the funky pictures were made with POV-Ray. As you may have noticed, I like the colour purple.

Outreach

A bunch of us are involved in the Junior Café Scientifique project. This gives us a great opportunity to talk to highschool students about interesting issues in modern science. It's also great fun! Check out this link for an idea of the topics we discuss.
