As I write this summary, I am about to leave Grenoble, France, where I have spent the last month for my first secondment. During this secondment I have been working and learning a lot about seismology at ISTerre, with my co-supervisor, Eric Larose, and the research, Agnes Helmstetter. Looking back a bit further in time, last semester ended rather successfully. I passed two courses, had a successful first fieldwork campaign and my media partner published the first popularized-science article about my PhD project. Now, I still have to take three more courses to validate all my credits. Therefore, two weeks ago I started a new course in statistics that I will be taking for the whole semester. We are also in the process of planning the second field work campaign, which should provide me with the most interesting data for my thesis.
