no sense of direction
reasonably cheap from here too.
there is a conference center in gran canaria.
we really should get a bio-forum "young investigator" conference up and running.
i'm new to the european weather... so, what is time for good weather, but cheap flights? september-ish.
and if we had 20-30 speakers (15-20 minutes each), covering all topics with an overview of how stuff happens (or something), a conference bag of goodies (get a couple of companies to give us some support in exchange for advertising and all the jazz), this could be feasible.
antisense
yeah, generally they are! and it's closer than the galapagos
RNA
it is actually do-able. if there was a good excuse to get members together for a conference... i don't see why we couldn't spend a week on the beach.
talking about science, naturally.
degraded
what excuse do we need other than the common interest in science?
minced
hey guys....hola tj, hey V....with 15 degrees here once again, going to the Canary Islands is looking pretty good right now....and talking about science might be worth it too as long as it's on the beach....
mince pies
hey cas, you coming to the canary islands?
fruit
why not.
there are conferences that have less in common.
a general conference for "young" investigators.
anyway, i put in the suggestion box, if anyone would be in interested in small electronic newsletter that we could all contribute too. not big, not all that often (1 or 2x a year) on general interest things that we'd like.
passion
sounds good to me, that could potentially help to start the bioforum society. which might actually be stronger than other scientific societies! all we need now is some funding...
fizzy drink
haha... you caught onto my plan...
fizzy bubbly
in principle, it should be easier to get funding, since so many countries are involved... so the possibilities expand! third world development, global warming kind of thing
