Black Helix Timeline

March 1, 2011

• users who have emailed the appropriate email address are starting to receive replies from Uksri with information about submitting a proposal

Email from UKSRI:

To whom it may concern,

Recently we have been overwhelmed by project application proposals and requests for submission documents. Currently at this time we are looking to reply personally to those who have contact us, but unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances regarding the disappearance of a colleague at UKSRI there may be a delay in replies. In the meantime I have attached some additional information regarding our current outlook on project submissions and the areas of most interest to UKSRI and its partners, other project proposals not within this area will not be considered going forward:- · Neurological Research · Stem Cell Patterns · Investigation of Chiral molecules · Infectious Disease Research · Drug Efficacy Please find attached a project submission form. Please complete all information in detail and include references from peers and colleagues within you organisation or university, of scientific importance. Kind regards, Brandon Blake

• Is something going on at the top left of http://www.theblackhelix.com? Moving your mouse over the white dot (perhaps two pixels long) changes the cursor. What's this? An error in the source, potentially: there's a literal apostrophe character in the page, which causes your mouse to change to its normal selection cursor. --Morbus Iff
