I am part of an international project to transcribe, edit, and publish the letters of the Irish physicist John Tyndall. We received good news this week and are now funded by the National Science Foundation for at least two years. This puts me in the position to hire two graduate (or honors) students for the next two years. May the games commence!

Congrats, John. Well done. Now get me a ten year grant for something, will you?
