As I had mentioned to Julie, I had always wanted to be a Visiting Scholar or a Post-Doctoral Fellow at UCSD’s CUSMS but for one reason or another it had never happened. This year, I have applied and I’m still waitiing for the results. I have my fingers crossed that UCSD will want me to join the ranks of the visiting fellows that have participated in the program.

Julie’s piece on how San Diego and California more in general can attract well-educated, smart people is published below. I am very glad to have met Julie, and if I do move to San Diego, I look forward to more opportunities to interact in the near future.
