Update from the Blue Ridge

Well it’s been about two weeks since I decamped from Fairfax to the northwestern ridge of Wintergreen mountain in Nelson County Virginia. In the meantime, the new year has started and there’s a lot going on at the institute for advanced study. We are still in the midst of faculty recruiting season (it’s getting exciting) and at the same time working on getting a new cellular imaging facility in place as a core facility. I’m looking forward to returning to Mason on Monday and diving into the backlog of email. In the meantime, broadband seems to be working well up here and I’ve developed new respect for the old-fashioned land-line telephone.
