Well we still have three manuscripts in review - that means they must all be out with referees - treat them kindly! In the last week or two I have managed a trip up to Liverpool to see Andy Cossins and YongXiang who attempted to explain the intricacies of interpreting genomic data, it may be possible that this long drawn out piece of work may finally come to fruition. I have also been working on the survival analysis of the Wytham tree data and will be writing that up soon. Talking of Wytham we have a working SORTIE model now that is parameterised for Wytham and making predictions about the future of the wood. Greg is working on some bootstrapping now to try and determine how good these predictions actually are. Nana Li and Liu Yu are planning their field season out in China, it is looking like they will be off in April. So as I said busy.
