Dear all,

Apologies for not being able to come here as often as Phil trained us to during this past week, but life in this spot of the South Cone has been busy. Sort of like cutting and stocking the firewood for the year.

In the field I work in, once in a while, the combination of amazing factors align…  science wins, efforts win, patience is rewarded,  investments are returned, and the result is a treatment that everybody is expecting, praying for, waiting for, hoping for. But this has another side… there is a huge amount of work, lots to be done around the clock, in different timezones, in different languages, all in compliance with every single one of the international organisms that regulate this activity, tracking down information that so many people have been collecting for years…

Something like that has kept me busy this past week; but like when you graduate, the reward comes with so much stamina that we have done what was required… now, however, I feel like I need to catch up the sleep of a week!

Rewarding loves,

Cris
