Lots and lots of news from the last 6 months:
Have settled into Heriot-Watt and am really enjoying it.
Went to India to give an invited talk at the Third International Conference on Natural Polymers, BioPolymers, Biomaterials and their Composites, Blends, IPNs, Polyelectrolytes and Gels: Macro to Nano Scales.
Became a Fellow of The Higher Education Academy.
Received lots of funding - a Scottish Crucible Projects for Scotland award looking at connectivity of green space and the impact upon exercise; an MRC Confidence in Concept award looking at microfluidic methods of separation and concentration of cells from blood; and an STFC award looking at Raman detection of Cryptosporidium.
Been busy writing my book on detection of waterborne pathogens for Elsevier and it is finally nearly finished!
Proposed and am editting a special issue for the Journal of Water Resources and Protection with articles arising from the European Science Foundation Junior Summit that I attended in August 2012.
Have been appointed as a member of the Royal Society of Edinburgh Young Academy of Scotland.
And finally, been finishing off lots of papers with 3 submitted this last month and several more in the final stages.
