RDP Thing 21 and 22: *Research and EURAXESS

Two topics to cover in today's blog post.
Firstly *Research Professional:
This is a fantastic database for funding opportunities. If you are already part of a well funded doctoral training centre and hence don't require project/travel funding, there is further opportunities such as awards and prizes for presentations and progress in research.

Secondly, a website for the future:
Beyond '23 Things' I would definitely like to continue a professional blog of my research throughout my academic career. I personally am a big fan of many of the University of Surrey's academic's blogs: https://blogs.surrey.ac.uk/ I enjoy reading of their professional travels and their opinion on current affairs. I think sometime in the future this research blog could be integrated with a full self-titled website (although nathancassidy.com is already taken) that also included lists of my publications, my contact details and various outreach ventures that I may undertake.
I would also like to begin a more personal blog offering media reviews and various opinion pieces on culture and politics, however I think it would be wise to not integrate this with my professional bog and website.
