This requires me sending in my CV, a biosketch, and information about my UEA collaborations in recent years -- also attached. I'm sending all this to you because I have mentioned your names in this documentation. For interest, I had to give three referees so I chose Brian Hoskins, Paul Crutzen and Ben. I guess this is all confidential. Best wishes, Tom.
