My time for the last week or so has been taken up with revision to allow me to gain my PhD (hopefully this will happen tomorrow around 4 pm). Alas this has not left me time to comment on a couple of events I’d planned to post about.
Yesterday, the 10th saw the 150th birthday of one of my favourite scientists, Nikola Tesla. There is a roundup of Tesla goodness over here.
Tomorrow, the 12th, marks 70 years since the foundation stone was laid for the Dagenham Civic Centre. It took a further 14 months before construction was complete. The Dagenham Council moving from their cramped offices at Valance House to the spacious new facility.
