I Know Best!

I have it on good authority that Sophia is still the boss. Tonight she stated that "I know best" which, given all the faffing about and indecision that accompanied our move back to the USA, may well be true.

Today has been a great day. The sort of day that makes me feel justified in dragging the troops away from their cosy nest in Chalfont Rd. We had a genuine light bulb moment in the lab about something we have been struggling with for ages. The daily opportunity to try and solve important public health problems gives me enormous satisfaction and can be incredibly good fun. This of course has to be balanced against the scientific norm which usually involves lots of banging of heads against brick walls and an infuriating lack of progress.
