Back Online and in DC

Hello all! We have had a crazy whirlwind month but are happy to report that we made it across the country, finally have internet, and are slowly digging out of boxes. Much has happened since the last post so I'll add a few posts today/this week and try to get updated. Eric started work last week and really likes it. He is doing a fellowship sponsered by AAAS (society that publishes Science journal). This program matches up PhD scientists with federal agencies to involve more science in policy-making and allow the academics real-life exposure to policy-making. He has been placed with NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association) in their climate programs office. Specifically, he will be working on the US Climate Change Report. This is a very timely subject and he is excited to be in on the ground level and hopefully travel to international climate change summits.
I'm hanging out in our tiny apartment, trying not to go crazy with all the moving details and working on the final edits of my dissertation.
We are only here for a year - so come visit! There is so much to do and see in DC and we'd love to have visitors!
