In 2019, Kate Margetson begain working for VietSpeech on Lunar New Year, and in 2021, she went on maternity leave on Lunar New Year. How appropriate!

Happy lunar new year

Today is the day many people around the world celebrate lunar new year.

• Chúc Mừng Năm Mới (Happy New Year - Vietnamese) 
• 恭贺新禧 (gōng hè xīn xǐ) (Happy New Year - Chinese) 

It was a very special day for our VietSpeech project, since Kate Margetson began working as our Project Officer for 2 days/week.
Other members of the team are:

• Dr Sarah Verdon (Chief investigator) 
• Dr Audrey Wang (Project Officer 1 day/week) 
• Dr Van Tran (PhD student) 
• Dr Ben Pham (Consultant, based in Viet Nam). 

An additional reason for celebration is that today was my first day back at work on campus for approximately 6 months.
