Mike,

Three things:

1.	We are drafting an outline application, with Communicable Disease Surveillance 
Centre (PHLS) co-investigators, to the Wellcome Trust for a study of the recent 
historical relationships of climatic trends/variations to the occurrence of various 
climate-sensitive infectious diseases, both in Britain and Europe-wide. We have had 
some limited experience in using climatic data for this type of study, but we would 
appreciate having some more expert input on that front to this larger study. Would you 
(or a nominated colleague) be interested, and able, to be a named "recognised 
collaborator" on this application? (At this stage, it's just a two-page outline, to see if it 
fits their funding criteria. We must submit it within about 10 days.)

2.	We have been advised by the EC that we will not hear about our Advanced Study Course 
(Sept 1999) until sometime this September.

3.	My colleague Sari Kovats (who works with me on IPCC matters, as well as research - 
and, indeed, is about to enrol for a PhD here) is interested in attending some sessions at 
the impending Second International Climate and history Conference, at UEA.  Do you have 
any cut-price deals?
