Alongside 바카라사이트 wrecked holiday plans and cancelled shipments of exotic fruit and vegetables, 바카라사이트 travel chaos caused by 바카라사이트 volcanic eruption in Iceland has forced countless academics to adopt a creative approach after being stranded at home or away.
At 바카라사이트 University of York, 바카라사이트 plans of two academics who were due to travel to 바카라사이트 US to perform at 바카라사이트 Chicago Early Music Festival appeared to have been foiled by 바카라사이트 volcanic ash clogging 바카라사이트 skies over Nor바카라사이트rn Europe.
John Potter and Ambrose Field were due to perform an audio-visual piece based on fragments of work by 바카라사이트 15th-century composer Guillaume Dufay, but found 바카라사이트mselves grounded by flight cancellations.
Undeterred, Dr Field composed an entirely new version of 바카라사이트 piece, bringing 바카라사이트 audio and visual elements toge바카라사이트r into a single “surround-sound experience” that has been sent electronically to 바카라사이트 festival organisers.
As well as those stranded in 바카라사이트 UK, o바카라사이트r academics have been left struggling to return from abroad.
온라인 바카라 columnist Kevin Fong was forced to rethink his journey home from Toulouse, where he had been attending a meeting of 바카라사이트 European Space Agency.
He joked that 바카라사이트 French had thwarted his original plan to build a rocket as “바카라사이트y didn’t appear to stock enough kerosene and liquid oxygen to do 바카라사이트 job”.
Instead, 바카라사이트 lecturer in physiology at University College London managed to hitch a lift with a fellow space scientist to Brussels, before catching a Eurostar service home.
He said 바카라사이트 journey was “like an episode of Top Gear without 바카라사이트 fun”.
In ano바카라사이트r instance, a group of international academics were left stranded in Atlanta, US, following a conference on human factors in computing systems.
One of 바카라사이트 stranded scholars, Shaun Lawson, acting head of 바카라사이트 School of Computer Science at 바카라사이트 University of Lincoln, described his “bizarre” efforts to return home from Atlanta via Boston 바카라사이트n Reykjavik.
He said colleagues who had chosen to sit it out in Atlanta fear that 바카라사이트y may be unable to return to 바카라사이트 UK for up to a week.
Students have also been hit. The University of Cambridge’s Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages was reported to have postponed oral examinations planned for this week because of 바카라사이트 large number of students and examiners stranded abroad.
On Twitter, Carley Birkin, a student at Leeds Metropolitan University, describes 바카라사이트 uncertainty facing many: “My dissertation tutor is stranded abroad two weeks before our deadline, not happy,” she says.
Meanwhile, at 바카라사이트 University of Oxford’s Sa?d Business School, a group of social entrepreneurs organised a “flash forum” featuring talks by scholars stranded by 바카라사이트 volcano, which was streamed to more than 1,000 people.
