England (2)

Ok, so I made it to England yesterday and have  managed to get to Hinxton in one piece and also register for my room and for the conference.

I just came back from Cambridge where I walked around some, and also did this thing called punting.  The conference is about to start in 30 or 40 minutes, and also this 9″ laptop isn’t good for letting me type really fast, so I’ll try to explain it all later.  With pictures.

England, baby!

I will be going to a conference in Cambridge, UK called Applied Bioinformatics and Public Health Microbiology 2009 starting next week.  First time I’ll have been outside of North America.  Fortunately for me, I have a good grant that will pay for the trip (plus, SGA and College of Sciences will be helping me).  Also I’ll be giving a 15 minute talk that I should practice on this week.

Anyway, this is what the blog is for.  I’ll try to give you guys updates on what is going on next week while I am outside of my calling area.  Thanks for everyone’s suggestions on what to do while I’m there.  I think I have an idea of what I’ll be doing some of the time because of everyone’s suggestions but I’ll be mostly winging it.  Wish me luck.
