Dear Colleagues

I have just, 7.30pm on the 31st, packed my last box of papers and am about to vacate my office.

Tomorrow, Professor Tony Morland will become the new Director of the York Neuroimaging Centre and Professor Alex Wade will be the Deputy Director

I am sure you will join me in welcoming them to their new roles and in wishing them a very successful future.

I have had a fantastic time as Director for the last 13 years and 9 months. I am moving into new roles to work on newly funded research into molecular imaging in humans and the associated hardware to accomplish it.

I could not have done this job with out the staff at YNiC and I would like to publicly acknowledge my sincere thanks for them being such wonderful colleagues.

We also could not have done this without you - the Users. You have made it tremendously exciting. A lot of science has been carried out. Over 300 projects with over 700 Users, have scanned over 4000 people.

Thank you

I am not going far - CHyM and the new clinical imaging facilities in York and Leeds, so I hope to meet you all from time to time.

best wishes

Gary
