UKFN weekly round-up 12/10/18

If you would like to circulate a brief message to the UKFN mailing list ahead of the monthly newsletter, you can send it to info@fluids.ac.uk by Friday noon and it will be circulated in the weekly round-up later that day. All messages that are still time-relevant will be repeated in the monthly newsletter.



A. UKFN MESSAGES

From: Nick Daish, 12/10/18
Subject: Presentations from SIG meetings

If you have run a SIG meeting that featured presentations that you would like to share with the UKFN community, why not compile these on your own SIG website or another website to which you have access, and then link to the page from your UKFN SIG page? Check out the Sprays SIG page (https://fluids.ac.uk/sig/Sprays) where the Meetings section has just added links to the presentations at their recent 4th meeting in Oxford.

This would be a more efficient way to disseminate the presentations than hosting them directly on the UKFN pages: there could be potentially a large number of big files, and UKFN has limited storage space; and it would be more convenient for the SIGs to have direct control compiling and formatting the information as desired.
