it…out

I’m at the gate in Roanoke. This can only be a good thing.

A steaming pile of grits started off more bioinformatics conference fun today in Blacksburg. The last time I had grits I was in Florida back in 1995. I may wait another 10 years before trying them again.

The presentations today were varied and interesting. I finally have a good understanding of what biomoby […]

I’m in Blacksburg, Virginia at the Donaldson Brown Hotel for the International Symposium on Web Services for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. This is a significantly smaller conference than the last one I attended in Kansas city a few weeks ago, but looks to be significantly more interesting too.
