The big news is our / my / the project got final approval from our group of TB specialists and consultants the world over. This includes a pretty significant deviation from the initial plan when I arrived, and I think that if I’m to point to one real effect I had on the project it would be this. I identified some inefficiencies and fallacies in the beliefs underlying the original algorithm and I helped to streamline a new algorithm. I think the data will be cleaner and the people who will actually implement this project will be much happier.
I just tried to explain a little bit of what I did, and it gets really boring, really fast so I’m all about telling the story, but send me an email or call me up and I’ll give details. Preliminary results will be available in a few months and then real results in a few years.
I’ve got less than two weeks to go here in Kenya, how quickly time passed. And at this juncture, especially considering that we just got the project officially off the ground, I need to figure out what work I should keep doing, and what work I should tidy-up and leave for the Hubert Fellow who is following me. Rishi if you’re reading this, this is you J Right now, I’ve decided its best for me to write this down, and this.
Time to get back to work.
