Preparing for Another Trip

I (Manish) am preparing for another long trip away from home and Anu… I am going to Basel again to work in Dr. M’s group and am hoping that this time will be even more productive work wise.  Anu will join me in December so it should be fun – we will probably hook up with my bro and sis-in- law and take a drive down to Spain.  I am spending countless hours in the lab trying to get things ready.  Anu has picked up knitting, and has been making some cool gear – you can see some of her work through the side bar.

In any case I signed up for a course in Basel related to my work and just found out that I won a European Union fellowship named after Marie Curie to attend the course! I feel awesome, but the truth is – this probably is due to the fact that Dr. M wrote a great recommendation and Dr. E (another collaborator) is a supervisor for the course.
