Now that my forum profile includes my real name (it's Alan's fault to start with! LOL), any Google freaks can easily see that I am a real, sane, academic scientist. In fact, JohnK has apparently done all the relevant searches to identify not only me but my wife Hiromi, who is also a scientist. In case any of you are interested, here is a bulletin describing some of the recent research in my lab.

Gosh, this just tells how much the academics are "exposed" on the net!
