Grant awarded, yay!

I may be a hopeless loser in some social realms, but at least I can conduct research pretty well... waiting in my inbox at work this morning is a congratulatory letter from the Office of Space Science, notifying me that my proposed automated Mars drilling project has been accepted at a level of $1.3M over three years, 2003-05. That's excellent news, and also gives me ammunition for claiming more people and higher status as I move into a new department this month at work :-).

I'm happy to talk to school groups, and can even take work time to meet during the day with them. Or I'll answer emails from the students, if that would work better.
