Travel Videos and Updates

Considering that I just spent a month on the other side of the world, and that there is plenty to report, my blog has not seen much activity. Somehow I am not really into maintaining it any more, especially after I joined my new job. I am enjoying that quite a bit, and I perhaps don't have the same sense of freetime that I did in at least the several initial years of graduate school.

Anyway, first things first: the travel updates. I was in Thailand for about 16 days with a team, collecting mosquitoes from areas where dengue had been reported. Along the way, over the weekends we managed to do some site seeing. A number of the photos taken during this period can be seen on my flickr page. Here is a video compilation of the more touristy moments.



Following that I was in Taipei for a week, to attend a conference on Dengue and to give a talk at (and initiate some collaborations with) the National Taiwan University. Anyesha joined me in Taipei, and here is a video compilation of our sight seeing trips there. She does an excellent job of writing up how our trip went.
