Gary, Tony and I would like to invite anyone planning a YNiC-based grant application to think about making a Thursday 4pm presentation outlining your ideas. We know that our applications will have to be good to be successful: a presentation would allow YNiC staff and everyone else involved in YNiC research to offer comments and suggestions that might help you introduce some additional methods or concepts that you hadn't thought of. It would also enable us all to know where each other's research is going, rather than having to wait to hear the results at some point in the future. If you are interested / prepared to do this, please contact Rebecca who will try to accommodate you as early as possible. That's rebecca.millman(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Andy
