Well, we’ve been part of 12 scientific papers, 2 new Ph D students have been enrolled, we showed that internetbased CBT works for OCD and we have been writing 3 big grant applications. And we started this site. And the next year looks even better with a lot of good things in the pipeline. We’ll keep you posted!
