Laura is back from UC Irvine with a master's in Earth System Sciences. It was a rigorous year, and she's happily turned her attention fully back to tree ring/carbon work. (Footnote, the
research site her advisor there worked with is now fried to a crisp in the terrible fires.) She's finishing up some papers and posters on the research she's done over the last couple of years, and is presenting at a conference here in Tucson in January. I think she's applying to a PhD program at UA, but in the meantime she finished her 6th NaNoWriMo novel in Nov., submitted a couple of short stories, and has been diligently writing this fall. She runs now and then and has taken up jewelry making with beautiful stones and wire. Laura's cat Adee is quite at home here with us, and bosses old Andy around. You can see some of Laura's photography on Flickr (see links to the right).Hannah is a senior and submitted applications to vet school this fall. It is tough to be admitted
since there are few schools and many applicants, so we're very proud of her just getting to this stage. Her top choice is Colorado State, but she is flexible and has backup plans for all eventualities. Update - she's got an interview at Ohio State College of Vet Sci on Feb. 1. She's now the senior vet tech at Miller Pet Hospital, and is working a lot of hours on top of rigorous classes like cell biology and histology. If you need a first rate dog-sitter just give Hannah a call. She accompanied me to Washington DC last July (coinciding with a 21st birthday), and we had a nice time seeing many of the sites and eating some good food. She quickly became an expert navigating the city while I was occupied reading grants. Dalie, Hannah's dog, is the happiest, easy going dog we know.
