Members of this online network are based all over the world. Why not tell us all where you are? Also, do you know any other tribologists? Would any of them be interested in joining this network?
I live in Edinburgh, which is the capital of Scotland, and I work in a small town nearby. I like the close-knit community feeling in Scotland and I find Edinburgh to be a very interesting and welcoming place. In my last job, I was lucky to work with highly-qualified tribologists and we did some good work together. It was a happy time. Now I work with some people who are tribologists without realising it! They are all members of a rival institution... and they seem to think that tribological problems can be solved with the first iteration. That has never been my experience!
