The American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting is currently on its way in Anaheim, California. The meeting hosts 16,000 attendees among them being heads of pharma, Nobel laureates, hot shot doctors and one evil twin. I fled the schackles of the lab to this scientific oasis on the sunny west coast. Well, one can assume it is sunny because most of my time is spent in dark rooms squinting at slides. There is much to be learned, much to be ignored, and a hell of a lot of outfits to ridicule. Science people may not be the sharpest dressers, but what they lack in style the make up in really awkward small talk. These are my people and I guess this is where I belong.
I am taking a little break now. My brain hurts. Not to worry only two and a half more days to go. Hopefully, when I get back to Boston I'll be able to process this whole experience better.
Good luck to all of you running the Boston Marathon today. I'll be monitoring you all via web.

I can picture it now...a sea of ladies in pastel polyester suits and men in ill fitting suits. All of them standing around talking about stuff that I'll never be able to understand!
