This post comes to you from Cold Spring Harbour - where I've been hob-nobbing for the past few days with fellow fly neurobiologists.At five days the meeting's just a little too long too, there's only so long that you can keep up a 7:30am - 2:00am schedule.. I'm too tired to bother making this sound coherent, so pardon the jumbled thoughts..
This place is like a temple to Jim Watson (of the double helix fame), come bow o lowly mortal to Lord God of the Helix.. The bookstore even comes complete with Jim Watson bobble-head dolls ( I kid you not).. The dolls have a big head - go figure..
The science itself has been good for the most part, it's been five years, yet I'm still suprised every time at how much networking you need to do to well at science. It's all also very clique-ish as well, which can get a little annoying.. The science is truly just a part of being a scientist these days..
I think I need a vacation after this.. Have been disconnected from the rest of the world - trust all is well with everyone and the world at alrge, will write and read more next week, 'til then for all the folks in US enjoy the Anti-Colonialism Day weekend.(or the holiday formerly known as Columbus Day)
