I'm Back... Sort of

After over two weeks on planes, trains, and automobiles (actually, more like planes, buses, and boats)--on a trip that involved a wild weekend in Newcastle, a relaxing week and a half on a small island in the Norwegian fjords, and an informative three-day NMR conference in the Lake District--I'm finally back in Oxford. I can't wait to get back into the swing of things around here at The Scientific Activist, but things might be a bit slow for the next week or two. I'm moving apartments this week, showing family around England next, and in between all of that, struggling to make at least some progress on my Ph.D. research. Still, I'm looking forward to writing a bit about my recent travels and the conference, as well as about all of the interesting activity going on in the realm of science and politics, so stay tuned!
