It's been a long few months with quite a few grant proposals, but now that the season is finally over, I'll be able to post more updates. To help facilitate that, I've been working on a new, web-based form, along with cryptographically-hashed, password-based authentication.

The UT Health Science Center is only allowed to nominate one application, so I have to make it past the internal selection panel first.

I'll present some of my recent cancer modeling and simulation research at the mathematical biology seminar on Thursday, November 15th at 2:30pm, and I'll give a talk on the current state of integrative cancer modeling at the mathematical department colloquium at 4:00pm on Friday, November 16th.

I've met with several of my new colleagues to discuss several exciting projects that are either ongoing or will be started soon.

Whew, what a relief! It's finally done, and the degree should be official in a few days. It's been an interesting 24 hours or so.

The defense was an interesting process with a lot of great (and difficult) questions, but on the whole, it went well, and I'm glad to be done with it.

However, there was a silver lining: most of those who were declined received word earlier than February 12 th , and so my application was most likely in the running until the very end.
