Miscellaneous

  • Fb Icon Facebook: If we have met in person before, feel free to add me as a friend on facebook.

  • Mendeley Icon Paper/reference manager: In my experience it makes a great difference to use a paper manager to organize the thousands of papers related to our research. My favourite one is Mendeley. It's free and really useful. Alternatively, you can find a more complete list in Wikipedia.

  • TransferWise IconTransfering money: The cheapest way I know to send money between different countries, sort of putting everything in your pocket and boarding a plane, is to use TransferWise. It's not free, but it's the best you can do and it definitely is cheaper than any bank. Also, get a friend to refer you and your first transaction will be free. If you don't already know anyone who uses it, you can use my referal link instead.

  • RainToday Icon Is it raining? You cannot be in the UK for any amount of time without loving the rain. This is the site I always check before I decide to move from point A to point B: www.raintoday.co.uk.

    • Hobbies

  • Tango Icon Argentine Tango: I really love dancing tango and I am heavily involved with Tango Aires Liverpool. If you are in Liverpool, come and give it a try. If you can walk, you can do it!

  • BPA Icon Skydiving: During the weekends, if the weather is good, we leave fear at home (and maybe our sanity as well...) and we go skydiving! This is a must-do, one-in-a-lifetime experience and as far as I know the UK is the only country in the world with university skydiving clubs. Do not miss this opportunity to jump!
