Dear group members,
I just wanted to write to you regarding resuming regular meetings with
many of you, especially the graduate students. Now that the tenure
talk is over, and many of my past backlog is over. It would be great
if all graduate students schedule a meeting with Cynthia *every month*
(at least) even if you have "not much progress" to touch base and
bounce back ideas. We of course can meet more often, but I have
noticed that I have not seen many of you in a while. No wonder, as I
was/and still am busy with tenure and overdue tasks, but I am getting
out of it soon. Postdocs: Please do the same, but paradoxically, we
have been meeting more often due to grants, requests, etc. than the
graduate students.
I will reduce my travel considerably due to my new baby that is coming
and teaching PS1 next semester, so I hope to be back to normalcy (e.g.
how I was in 2011) very soon.
Thank you all for your patience, help and understanding during this
stressful 2012. Also, thank you all for the boots.
Alan
