From the Editor
I often seem to use this space to unburden myself of all those niggling problems
that beset all of us from time to time. However, we set a record this month for
a week in which too many things went wrong all at once. Without giving you
the full list: our in house telephone system broke (BT replaced hardware at
the exchange- remarkably quickly); the venue for our SIFAA 2016 conference
decided to cancel us (no, we don’t either, but it is sorted now); next door’s
house caught fire (Fire Brigade sorted it in 20 minutes); Suzanne vacuumed up
her wedding ring (found stuck inside the machine); and so on...
We entered theVirginVoom 2016 competition with The Cancer Challenge.
Many thanks to those of you who voted for us; we didn’t make the top 80,
but we gained a lot of pubicity and made some valuable contacts, which will
progress the project. We’re now on the first page if you Google Biosensors
for Cancer, which has to be worth a lot. Slightly worrying is why more of you
didn’t vote for us - our network is several thousand and yet we only received a
few hundred votes. Not sure what that is/was about.

is a-political so won’t comment on the heated elections on both
sides of the Atlantic. There was a cartoon which had the headline “Warning
- may induce sleep” which I thought was only too true.
Finally, it was a long weekend on both sides
of the Pond. My hecctic weekend is depicted
below - I hope you enjoyed yours too.
Kind regards
