small update

As most of you must know I am back to France in order to get a new visa so that I can do my PhD in the usa. The bad news is that the only suitable visa we found is a work visa, H1 visa, and that these visa are based on a lottery where I have 1 chance out of 3 to get it. But we stay positive, and as I will get it, I won't be able to start my PhD work at Oncomed the 1rst of October, meaning that I won't be back to the US before mid-September probably.

As you can imagine it is very hard for me to be away from Poorav, but we will get through this! And hopefully we will see each other in between those 8months

Right now I am with my parents in the south west of France, near Mont de Marsan, it is a small village called: Duhort Bachen (department 40) if you want to have fun and look where it is on yahoo maps!
Saturday early morning we are leaving for Dijon and Monday I am going to Strasbourg to meet a lab for the co-direction. Hopefully it will work out with them, but in case it doesn't I also have appointments in Paris for the rest of the week with 5/6different labs! So I hope that between all these labs, one will want me!!!
Well I will keep you posted, and tell you about my adventures in France.
Do not hesitate to post something, I would be nice for me to see that some people are looking at this!
