It's official... We're moving to Sweden!

Tyson has accepted an offer for a post doctoral research position in a leading lab of synthetic biology research at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden.  Yes, we are moving to Sweden!  This is as unexpected to us as it is to you, but one of the main lessons we've taken away from our graduate school experience is to seize good opportunities when they are presented, and this is certainly a once-in-a-lifetime amazing opportunity not only for Tyson's career, but for us to experience a different way of life in a safe and somewhat familiar and familial environment.  We both have Swedish ancestry and are looking forward to seeing the land of our forefathers/mothers, as well as other parts of Europe.  We will be in Uppsala for 4 years, so build up those frequent-flier miles and plan your vacations now  =)
