I had completely forgotten that I had a blog until I tried to create a new one. Shows how lively it is.
The book I talked about before on biological rhyhms , has not only been published, next month it is out in paperback. It has gone well - publication in US; China: Japan; Taiwan and Italy. last year my co-author, Russell Foster and I,spoke at literary festivals in Hay-on-Wye; Edinburgh;Cheltenham; Oxford and between us we have done some Cafe Scientifiques; a chronobiology love-fest at the Dana Centre and Russell gave a major talk at the Royal Institution here in London.

The reviews were pretty good but one by John Tyler Bonner in the Times Literary Supplement sent my self-esteem so high that at the moment of reading I could have died and gone to heaven. Not just a complimentary review by one of the very Grand Old Men of Biology, but the Times Literary Supplement to boot.

Russell and I are now working on the sequel. having done time of day we are now working on time of year and Seasons of Life should be out early in 2007 - and with any luck I may have made a posting by then
