Upcoming Work and Travels

Today, we completed field work for the physical fitness study that I have been working on. Over the next few weeks, we'll be analyzing data from this project in addition to moving forward with more lab work for some of the other projects that are ongoing. I also was able to submit my proposal for a study of the effects of chronic early childhood diarrhea this week to the Brazilian institutional review board (IRB), and hopefully will be able to get started with that in early January. Over the next few weeks, I'll be traveling a bit courtesy of two national holidays, and in late December I'll be back in the US for two weeks. My itinerary for the next few weeks follows:

November 2 - November 5 São Luis, Maranhão and Parque Nacional Lençois Maranhenses
November 11 - November 19 Amazon Trip
November 11 Fly to Manaus
