Fast & Furious ... Academic and Engineering Job Opportunities for the week ending 06 December 2013

Hello everyone, This is a new month. The last month for this year. And it is the first day of the month. Already so much is happening. The festive season is in full swing.

While a lot of us mourn from the sudden death of a rare talent it is a stark reminder that life is not guaranteed. We must live in today not tomorrow or yesterday. No one ever achieved anything by doing it tomorrow. Today is time to reach for scholarships and harness the opportunities available in the engineering and academic world all over Europe. Use these links today and not tomorrow.

Both parts of my presentation are here and there ! On the Friday I also had an examination at London Business School. First thing I observed is that my handwriting is becoming poor no thanks to always typing everything out when i am not scribbling in the lab. I noticed my writing was becoming disappointing when taking down notes during my experiments in the lab but I always as...
