One thing at a time, but still lots of things to do …

There are a couple of things that I currently work on. First there are the measurements of my snow samples collected at Alert with lots of other samples (especially the air canisters) in the queue. The calibration curves for the liquid phase and headspace are ready (18 compounds each) and I have started crunching numbers.

I also write a manuscript on my data from snow samples collected in the winter/spring of 2005, which is quite advanced and on a good track. All the introductory and experimental stuff is written including results and discussion with a few calculations missing. It should be ready soon.

I am working with a student on ice-nucleation and training her on how to use the instrument, prepare solutions,… She is running blanks at the moment and trying to make the instrument behave in a repeatable manner.

I am also closely tracking open positions at Montreal universities, with one application pending for a temporary teaching position (1 course for 1 semester) to add to my teaching experience.
