I spoke with Dr. Brody who said she had only one application for this position
and that person may not be able to take it. It seems like a very interesting
line of work for anyone interested in early childhood development. Is the
employment situation for people on xmca so great that this position finds
no one interested? I guess I hope that such a situation should be celebrated
if its true!
