I agree with you Todd, I live in the UK and visited DC last month and had
the chance to meet Bruce and Val for 30 mins in there NMC class. I felt
from the vibes of the class that they were focused and still working
hard/late, as you do for this prize. I'm going to have a dry run in the lab
in Brussels in May, and then go for the NMC to build myself up for the 2nd
attempt.
