John and I returned safe to the San Francisco Bay Area
from our 2 weeks of travels in Russia and Israel visiting SEED potential
mentoring participants. We had a wonderful trip but we, our
kids, our dogs, our cats, and the bird are all happy we are
back home now. Today, we went through security checks and customs
in 3 countries (Israel, Germany, and the USA) and I am quite
happy to be home, away from X-ray machines, patdowns, bag
searches, shoe searches, and the endless stream of the polite
inquisitions and impositions that make up modern international travel.
Today is the deadline for applications for the Israel and Russia
“EMEA-2” SEED term. There are a few hours left but so far we
have 44 applications: 31 from St. Petersburg, and 13 from Tel
Aviv. Applicants will now have until 6 February to get all other
materials submitted (resumes, letters of recommendation, etc.).
We will announce our selection decisions on 9 February.
