Had a great day today. Very good interview with Prof. Margaret Stanley at Cambridge. She is a leading authority on infectious agents. She was also very eloquent and structured which made for an excellent interview. We then braved UK weather, and wow was it severe, to make it to London. The high note of the drive was my Shell station onion bahjees. Indeed, I found some vegan onion bahjees at a gas station! I was in vegan heaven.
Anyway, we finally made it to London. We went to interview Simon Davies the CEO of Teenage Cancer Trust. Very interesting work being done for teenagers with cancer. The low point of the afternoon was, however, trying to park the van in this tiny underground parking lot. Kudos to Gilles for getting it in and out of the elevator! That's right, we put the van in an elevator.
Rounded off the night by having a quick, but tasty, Indian meal in Thame near Oxford. Tuesday we are in Oxford to interview Professor Kerr and then we're off to... actually not sure. Dr. Adamou (MEP) had to cancel our Strasbourg interview so we're trying to find an alternate for Wednesday before going on to Warsaw for our Thursday interview.
