   Thanks Sari.  Here is amended version, with a few other alterations as suggested by people.
   Please share it with others at LSHTM if appropriate - I only copied it to you and Paul.

     Hi Mike
     This is very interesting - I have one comment - perhaps you could put more on the
     success of the scientific collaboration between Tyndall and LSHTM - e.g.several inputs
     to CCASHH  . - and make clear that the joint programme is not going well because  the
     funders do not support interdiscplinary research - to avoid any misinterpretation.
     I think two proposals are going into the MRC on jan 30th -
     1) Armstrong et al. Statistical methods for estimating the effect of weather on health
     from time series data.
     2) Wilkinson et al. DECISION-ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK FOR ADAPTING TO FUTURE BURDENS OF
     THERMAL EXTREMES IN LOW- & MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES.
     best wishes
     Sari

     Dear All,
     Please read the attached 2-pager.
     This was prepared in response to a question from DEFRA about climate change
     and health research and Tyndall Centre.
     I hope I have mentioned the main items, but please correct me/inform me of
     any oversights.  What I haven't included is a section on up-coming
     proposals arising out of the MRC-NERC Co-op.  Perhaps I could add a section
     about this if I get the raw material.
     Many thanks,
     Mike
