Meetings - thank goodness for technology
This week has been filled with very interesting and helpful meetings across the nation and the world with the use of Skype and video conference. My meetings have been with informahealthcare (Sweden and Sydney), Pearson (US and Sydney), Oxford University Press (Melbourne and Albury), Charles Sturt University professors (Bathurst, Albury, Dubbo, Sydney, Wagga), my PhD students (Fiji, Sydney, Bathurst), and the Sound Start team (UK, Sydney, Albury). These collaborations would not have been possible from a rural Australian city prior to the availability of information technology.
