Hi everyone!
« on: July 06, 2011, 09:29:51 AM »
Hey all!

I've been in the UK for a month now and it's great that I found this forum. There is a lot of good information and advice here that I think will be really helpful.

I'm here in the UK to get my PhD in Biomedical and Life Sciences. I study sandflies (a small type of fly that carries the parasite Leishmania). I have moved from Huntington Beach, CA to Lancaster. Lancaster is a really pretty town.

I've been a bit homesick but the people who have let me a room here are really nice and I'm very slowly starting to make new friends.

I'm excited to have found this forum and it's really nice to meet you all ^__^.

Welcome...and I wish I hadn't googled Leishmania. Hope you find a cure/prevention!
