Holiday wishes

I realise I’ve neglected the blog for over a week now and I just wanted to reassure everyone that I have not forgotten it but have been involved with other things, perhaps of most interest to my readers here I submitted a piece to a science writing competition. I will keep you informed on how I do and see whether I am able to post it here or link to it on-line once the competition is done. I will continue blogging shortly into the new year. In the meantime I hope everyone has a wonderful festive season and a happy new year!
