Oh, that's very good to know re. JOLF - kudos to them, and to you. And thank you for the birthday wishes :-)
Thanks for that commentary, very interesting. I think every year I am more and more struck by how much I would NOT have coped with a challenge of that sort at that age - a very clear illustration of how focusing exclusively on academic pursuits is a very narrow path and not one that fits anyone for addressing the 'real world' post-academia (or, nowadays, probably within academia too! Research and teaching are only part of the job, what with all the politics, chasing funding etc. etc.)
