So what’s new in the life of Neil? Well as you know I am trying to create the next big thing in batteries. But this has been side tracked by a project for which I am well suited. I am studying how bacteria and mamilian cells stick to glass and other surfaces. This is of interest to the public because with this knowledge we can hopefully create surfaces on things like knee implants which your body cells would want to stick to but to which bacteria would not be able to stick. Did you know that millions of people each year have infections from getting an implant and that 60% of those infections cannot be treated by antibiotics alone? I spoke with a man who had to have his hip replaced 7 times due to infections.
Anyway this Friday I am going to be in Utah for a weekend. The national convention of the American Chemical Society is in SLC and I get to present at it. I am going to have to be at the conference during the day but will be able to be with Michelle and the kids at night. Then just a couple more months until they are here in Lincoln with me.
Michelle was out here a couple of weeks ago and interviewed at several of the schools for a teaching position. We have our fingers crossed that she will have an offer before she moves out here.
