Peter Walters on 3D printing at the FRG
Dr Peter Walters, from the Centre for Fine Print Research at UWE, came to visit the FRG on Monday, and give a fascinating lecture on 3D printing.
Very interesting, lots of discussion, and a good way to stimulate new collaborative research projects. We look forward to lots of future contact!

FRG members volunteer at Bisc
A number of members from the FRG helped Charl (volunteer head chef at the Bristol International Student Centre, BISC) to prepare meals for 90 people on Saturday!
Fantastic team work … and really nice hair nets! And at the end of the evening we enjoyed some of our own food, and a well-deserved break with the rest of the Bisc team!
Mini-symposium with Dwight Seferos … and Saravanan Chandrasekaran!
Saravanan contributed to the recent mini-symposium (Wednesday, 26th of September) held in conjunction with the visit of Dwight Seferos from Toronto, Canada. Very nice talks during the afternoon’s symposium!
Chinwe leaving Bristol…
Chinwe, who has just finished her thesis and had her viva, is getting ready to leave Bristol and head back to Nigeria. We had the chance to celebrate with her, while saying goodbye at the same time … and of course wishing her all the best in settling in and with the expected growth of her family!
Here some photos from the group office, and from Cosmo … always a good place for lunch!
