Even though it's taken such a long time (well, not really, considering the impact it will make, but a hell of a long time in your life) it must have been, and still be, terribly exciting. I'll bet that not many researchers get to see such tangible evidence of all of their hard work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774169005849424657.post-4468371230978305552008-11-01T00:32:00.000+10:302008-11-01T00:32:00.000+10:30Ahhh, I dream of some day living in a country that...Ahhh, I dream of some day living in a country that had a public dental health system. I had to go for 5 years with no checkups because my insurance at 2 different universities didn't cover dental.

Glad to hear you're being nominated for an award. <BR/><BR/>Thesis writing can be such a gut-churning experience and I truly sympathise with explaining the mathematical component - try explaining computer models of laser-electron interactions!

I love that you are addressing such a pressing issue in Australia too where - it seems to me - the waiting times for public dental care is disgraceful, AND - as we are now discovering - dental health issues can lead to numerous other health issues. *Applause, applause* :-)Minni Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380570737780717931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774169005849424657.post-32565408842606224332008-10-31T12:27:00.000+10:302008-10-31T12:27:00.000+10:30Well done Kel, I understood what you are talking a...Well done Kel, <BR/>I understood what you are talking about.pipnvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457147675975500592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774169005849424657.post-20124117869116395412008-10-31T11:24:00.000+10:302008-10-31T11:24:00.000+10:30Super work!It all made perfect sense.

I used to work in shared rooms with a dentist, and the problem of getting an appt was very real, and there didn't seem to be a systematic approach to dental triage. The fact that it cxan be integrated with an appt system with estimated appt durations etc is fantastic.<BR/><BR/>Has this nomination given you the impetus to finish off the write-up?Laura Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299523378009842115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774169005849424657.post-35195887129127799282008-10-31T10:48:00.000+10:302008-10-31T10:48:00.000+10:30Yawn.....!!!Yawn.....!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774169005849424657.post-76401522470822730582008-10-31T10:06:00.000+10:302008-10-31T10:06:00.000+10:30Wow, now I am REALLY impressed with what you have ...Wow, now I am REALLY impressed with what you have done!
