Tis the season for change

Times are a changing.
People leaving the lab, people coming.
Dan and Tom now both hav their PhD's.
Pulling my finger out for mine.
Lots of new people in my lab.
Lots of people from the centre are leaving for holidays, new jobs and extended breaks. I wish i had a real holiday coming up.

So yeah, as of the 1st january 2007 The Centre for Immunology and Cancer Research will merge with the Centre for Endocrinology and Diabetes Research to become Brisbane's newest research "Institute". This will be called the Diamintina Institute for cancer, immunology and metabolic Medicine. We have been told we are NOT allowed to refer to it by its acronym DICIMM in any way. The Australian of the year will be passed onto someone else on the 26th aswell. The cervical cancer/HPV vaccine - Gardasil is now on the PBS scheme. woot.
Oh the centre got approval for a new building (completion due 2010) on the PA Hospital campus.

Then other changes - like my finances being screwed, yay!
anyway - looking for p/t work as at 31st jan. keep me informed if you know of anything.

p.s. Due to my new blogger program (w.blogger) It is damn easy to crosspost to my blog (http://nightshadow.co.uk) and blogspot. which helps for ppl that read via bloglines etc instead of an rss viewer capturing the rss feed from my own blog.
p.p.s basically i'll double/cross- post everything I guess.
