Friday is just over. Today, I attended the workshop between two facilities in Japan and Australia. I enjoyed watching the presentations and discussions. I have presented my point of view to the workshop. They will continue to host these workshops. Maybe 5 or 6 workshops will be held within two months. I have another presentation in two weeks time. I just thought about recording my presentation for future purposes. So I can put it into the presentation file on youtube or something in the future. It is good to stock what I talk about then I can show it to someone who is interested in the future.
I will have my 2nd dose of the vaccine tomorrow. I have to get up early to get to the vaccine centre but I hope everything will be finished after this. Hopefully, I can work and have life fully from the next week. New cases of COVID-19 in NSW state keep decreasing while VIC state is still very high, not sure for short time, the number increases or not in short term.
I have 5 presentations in the next 6 weeks, it is going to be December after that. It is almost the end of the year. I can’t believe it. I think I should be careful what I should achieve this year. In November, we also start doing experiments, it is good to be back but I should finish them one by one. The goal is to finish as many experiments as possible before the end of the year. So we can have more beam time in early 2020.
Time flies so fast. I am working as a scientist, I just feel the improvement and the contribution I am making every day is so small. But I should never give up. The first priority of my physics life is writing papers. So I have to do it every day, making presentations, sharing the information is just secondary. I should not worry about it. Also, doing experiments is also first priority. These are sources of paper I can produce. If I don’t have any data, I don’t have anything to write. So keep writing and keep finding what I should do next. What I found is if I can write the paper, I can find more collaboration and more project I want to do it. I need to keep constantly produce good scientific papers so people can notice me and I am confident to talk about what I found. But if I don’t have them, I am not comfortable showing these to colleagues. Anyways, finish the paper, otherwise, these works just do not actually exist. So I have to push myself to write every day and I can believe I can enjoy my scientific life if I can write more papers.
