Dec 7th: Blog robbery

In which I account for today's microscopic entry.

Readers, this week I have been blog robbed! Monday and Tuesday were lost to my having been invited to give a seminar and talk shop in Lyon, France; Wednesday to weather and missed airplane connections; and I was all set today to go into lavish detail about the lab work I actually accomplished on Thursday and Friday when today a text of grant proposal arrived from my collaborator, in urgent need of text. It is an exciting proposal but difficult and I wrote all day before collapsing in a mental heap. You will just have to wait for an account of that Thursday and Friday burst of activity. But to whet your appetite – it was in aid of debunking a Nature paper. Stay tuned!
