This has trickled out to a few of you guys already, but I figured, I'd just go ahead and make one big announcement here for everybody.... Jessica and I have some news.....

HAHA... not that news... In case the post title didn't give it away, I got a job offer the other day to go work at Pasteur Institute in Paris starting in October. It's working with a scientist I really respect on Staphylocoocus aureus, which for you non-science types, is the nasty little critter that causes MRSA infections (staph infections) of which you may have heard about in the news. So I'm really excited! Really nervous too, since "bonjour" is about half of my french vocabulary, but it should be a great adventure and at the end of the day, I guess you just don't get that many opportunities for great adventures, so I'm thrilled. Jessica and I have downloaded Rosetta Stone, and we now spend some of our beach time practicing French in Asia. It's a funny world, eh?!
