JP, that is so awesome. Just got off the phone with you, me ranting and raving about how awesome this is, and you still in a mild state of shock. so exciting, so deserved.
C, I printed out the Shiavo article. will read it and comment as soon as possible.
I read the short blurb about journalism school and I agree it might not be productive. English courses, however, might be, because it's so important to know the classics and to know the technical side in order to gain mastery over the medium.
Some more good news, Gavin was accepted into the Master's program for Urban Spatial Analytics at Penn. Urban Spatial Analytics is basically urban planning, something that he is interested in. this degree would really help him out, help him get higher paying, more interesting jobs in teh field, for as long as we wants to work in it. He will most likely accept the offer and do the program part time. this might also help him get the research coordinator position he interviewed for at Penn yesterday. the position is in a lab that does urban planning and whatnot, so is highly relevant. we will see how things go.
I have an interview next week for a research coordinator position at the behavioral genetics lab at Penn school of medicine, working on a family obesity study. will see how it goes. mostly I want to use this as a bargaining chip for a pay-increase here at CHOP. wouldn't really want to leave this job unless I am going to a job in my field.
all for now. so much good news!
love,
H
