Editor's Notes
My name is Mick Grimley I have to tell you that the other presenter for this session John O’Donahue has withdrawn so it’s just me but what I was hoping to do is to keep to time and try to finish so that people can get to the next session in another room if they wish to I going to be reporting on data from the first 2 years of a 3 year study I finished collecting the rest of my data just before I flew over on Monday I haven’t had a great amount of time to sit down and think about or even analyse fully my data yet and I ‘m only reporting on a small amount of the data but it would be great if I could get some ideas and thoughts on this during todays session It’s not very often you get a group of highly intelligent academics together in 1 room to discuss your own work, so I want to make the most of it
