The Graduate Junction
Two research students at Durham University have set up a website that is meant to reduce isolation among graduate students. Called the
Graduate Junction, the site allows graduate students to form networks of students with similar research interests in a similar way to Facebook or LinkedIn. Launched in May in the UK, the site had over 2000 students register in the first 2 weeks, and now has users in over 38 countries. Check it out.

About robyn.owens
I started my academic life doing a BSc (Hons) in Mathematics at UWA before going to Oxford to complete an MSc and a DPhil, also in Mathematics. I then spent three years in Paris at l'Université de Paris-Sud, Orsay, continuing research in mathematical analysis and going to lots of movies before returning to UWA to work as a research mathematician.
I have lectured in Maths and Computer Science at UWA, as well as for short periods at Berkeley, The University of Canterbury in Christchurch, and Prince Songkla University in Thailand. My research has focussed on computer vision, including feature detection in images, 3D shape measurement, image understanding, and representation.
