Tired but Alive!

Hello Friends,

So I have decided to revive this blog. It's been a while since I posted anything but only because life has gotten crazy and wonderful!

For those who don't know, I am currently working as research coordinator for an International TB project in Montreal. In short, I work for Dr. Dick Menzies who is doing a cost-effectiveness study of various TB control strategies to convince investors where to invest their money.

I'm coordinating the substudy which is evaluating TB patients' and health systems costs globally. Basically, we need to know how much money is currently being spent, to know how cost-effective these strategies (namely new vaccine, new diagnostic or new treatment) will be.

So... getting to the interesting part... I get to do tons of fabulous travelling!

So far, I have travelled to Rio de Janeiro, Johannesburg, Lilongwe (Malawi), Amsterdam and the Hague...

And in the next couple months I will be travelling to... Beijing, Changsha (China), Chennai, Bombay, Hamburg, and London.

It's been an incredible experience thus far... albeit exhausting... and I realized I should really be recording my experiences at the various sites.

So I will try and wrap up my trips so far, and if you're interested, stay tuned for further postings on China, India, and Europe.

Crazy and Happy as always...
Nami
