      Hi specialsam96,

      I entered for this myself, I heard about a previous IAS which was held in summer from one of the winners, who said it was one of the best things that they had done, so I couldn’t resist having a go this time.

      So far I’m really glad I decided to take part, Its great fun 🙂

      I volunteered. An email came around work and I thought it sounded fun. I spoke to some colleagues about it and they encouraged me, so I decided to enter. All good fun so far! I like the live chats, they can get a bit manic sometimes. 🙂

      I took part in IAS last year and had a great time, when someone mentioned a special STFC edition I had to do it again!

      I volunteered. One of my colleagues, who’d been on a previous one, sent round an email suggesting it. It sounded fun so I wrote in saying I’d like to be considered. The rest was history, as they say!
