Regarding my availability ...
Please note that I travel frequently on University and research business. Whilst away from the office, I check email regularly and voice mail sporadically. For urgent business, email is probably the best way of contacting me when I am traveling.
My online calendar shows my availability and is updated regularly [Any entry beginning with "Travel" indicates that I am out of the office but contactable. Entries marked "Annual Leave" indicate vacation time during which I will not be reading email or checking voice mail]
