On the mend

by Jo Spong


Hello blog readers

Some of you will know that Al and I both fell sick with a cold shortly after arriving back from our overseas holiday. Well, its been a slow recovery but I am almost back to 100% health and Al is back to about 85% health....getting there. Combined with jet-lag and being sick it only feels like now that we are back to a regular sleeping pattern which is a relief to be honest. It is very difficult being a genius at work when you have only had four hours sleep :) So we haven't been very productive of late, just having some nights in trying to get well again.

On the work front, it is busy for me with many many papers to write and try to get published, along with preparing to go to a conference in Adelaide in October where I have two presentations to make. I am also busy trying to get funding to run a small but important research project. Al starts back at university tomorrow for his last semester which is exciting. He has an internship this semester too which is a great opportunity for him to see how it all works in industry and also for him to make some contacts.

So we should have some more interesting things to report about soon, now that we are getting better.

We hope you are all well

x Jo and Al
