Jim's Big News

I almost forgot to post this, bad wife that I am.

Jim received a Spot Award from his company! He was nominated "based on his outstanding effort during a recent trip to Basel," where he and his boss presented the customized software system that he's been working on for two years.

As I (vaguely) understand it, the purpose of the software is to keep all of the pathology departments worldwide in contact. He hopes it will create common practices as well as helping labs communicate their findings more efficiently. In Basel, he trained their pathology department on using the system and incorporated some of their ideas into the software to customize it even further.

This software project is something he's been working very hard on for a long time and something he's very proud of, so I'm really happy he won this award. He received $250 as a prize, too.
