I am writing to draw your attention to the blog “A Life in the IMA“, in which Dr. Dan Tilley, IMA Council member, Chair of the IMA Early Career Mathematicians Group and committee member of the IMA North Hants, Surrey and Berkshire Branch, gives his personal account of his mathematical life. His postings are infrequent (I can talk!) but worth keeping an eye on.

Last week I visited Reading University. It is the Easter holiday so there are not many people around but I still had very useful meetings with Sandhya Tanna of the Reading Careers Advisory Service (building pictured to the right) and Simon Chandler-Wilde, Head of the Mathematics Department.
Maths at Reading includes a compulsory module on Maths communication skills which includes 5 credits on Career management skills. This inclusion of training in not only mathematical skills but also the skills to put across your skills and knowledge is interesting.
In the evening I attended an IMA North Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire Branch meeting, which was an interesting and lively talk by Dr Philip Bond on quantum cryptography.
