Week of August 15-19

Last week was a short one, with the 15th being a national holiday, and it was also a very busy one. I had several businesses where I had to handle a pair of things -- I interviewed two candidates for the Lab Technician position, submitted two 1-page Abstracts to the QSM workshop, prepared two graduate class syllabuses, and worked on editing two manuscripts. One of the two manuscripts was submitted this Monday to MRM. The other one, on projection reconstruction, is still some time away before submission. The class plans took time to come up with, and they turned out okay, but I now learn that one of them will likely not have enough registered students to stay open next semester. The candidate interviews went smoothly, and now we know who to hire. The QSM workshop, in Austria, will happen on a week where there will be (1) IBS symposium, (2) (I learned today) a visit to Queensland, Australia by high University officials including the Chancellor.
Good progress, and we sent off Seul-ki, the summer intern student, to where she currently goes to school with a good lunch on Friday.
