Tomorrow I head out to another conference. This one is the annual Wildlife Disease Association Meeting. Last year it was in Lyon, France. This year it is in .....Knoxville, TN. Seems like a jump, but maybe people in France would consider Knoxville to be the equivalent of Lyon. Then again, maybe not.
The picture above is from last nights dinner. A couple of friends are moving away and we went out to our favorite place. I, for some reason, ordered the pickle platter. That's the life of academia: all your friends move away.
The conference should be great because I'll see friends who have moved away.
Before I go, I'm making my usual lists. And I'm also scrambling to generate some new data. I'm sure most students are as well. Conferences sometimes provide an impetus for long-put-off nights in the lab.
I'll be in Knoxville for a week. There will be some days and nights where I explore the city. I also hope to live-tweet some of the symposia.
It should be a fun week of learning and adventure!
