developing teaching skills and doing research simultaneously

I started attending the first core module of a series of modules to develop teaching skills at the University of East Anglia (UEA).  The lecturer gave an excellent talk in the Council Chamber of the Council House at UEA.  I will try to wrap it in few sentences because the day is ending soon.  Those three hours flew so fast thanks to the nice chats with other colleagues, a refreshing cup of tea with milk and a wonderful talk from a tutor of the charity organisation The Brilliant Club (www.thebrilliantclub.org).  I am really looking forward to the next module!

After a nice, relaxing and quite long lunch break I was visited by two master students I have recently started supervising in order to help them learning how to use Molecular Dynamics simulations and other Computational Chemistry tools.  So three more hours flew away and I found myself dealing with my own research for almost two hours.  Very long day at work, but I really enjoyed from the early start this morning until I left.
