The blogroll grows
If you’re interested in what’s happening in Research around the university, be sure to check out our Research Support Hub blogroll in the right-hand menu. This collects links to other blogs produced by researchers across the institution – I’ve just added the Department of Environmental and Geographical Sciences blog, bringing us to a total of sixteen sites covering a broad range of disciplines and interests.
Similarly, if you’re a University of Northampton researcher with your own blog, or you’ve created a site for a conference or a project, email me the details and I’ll add you to the roll.
