    I did a Physics one last year and it was on "Ion Optics in Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry" in Manchester, and it lasted 4 weeks.
    The unis really really loved it so I hope you get the place, its great to talk about!

    I've filled in the form but not handed it in yet. Is it too late to give it in?

    Depends as each region has different deadlines, most of them are coming to an end so try and send it ASAP. Here's the website with the deadlines...
