Disaster

It is with great sadness and concern that I've heard reports of the earthquake in northern Japan, and the ensuing damage to people and communities.
My thoughts and wishes are with the victims of the quake and their families.

News of the nuclear instability resulting from the malfunction of power plants has also been very concerning.
Much of the research that my laboratory performs centers around helping treat victims of radiation exposure.
We have been working in recent days with great vigor,
unfortunately, I fear many of the recent developments in this field will not reach recent victims in time.

I sincerely hope all readers and their families are safe,
and offer my deepest condolences to the people of Japan.

Please send news of your status.
