I'm back in the UK after a nightmare 23 hr flight stopping in Dhaka and Dubai, next time I fly from London. But... a nice two week break, great to see A Ying and some old friends. I am getting stuck into my project here, which is going well. The BioSysBio conference is in one month, we have over 115 delegates registered and 40 abstracts submitted. I am looking forward to the conference. Going home at the weekend, for US visa interview on Friday followed by a Microsoft Student Partner meeting on Sunday and Monday in Cambridge. Back in Edinburgh Monday night.
