one lonely success

so i’m home safe and sound from my week long trip to south beach, fl.

in case you’re just joining us, i was invited to speak at a biomedical conference and UCLA was kind enough to foot the bill for the week long trip.

i flew in on memorial day as south beach was in the midst of a crazy party. apparently there was some sort of hip-hop awards show going on and so the hip-hop crowd was there in full force. this of course meant that i fit in per-fect-ly.

my talk was scheduled for thursday which meant that i had plenty of time to enjoy south beach prior to the big day. i’m happy to say that the talk went off wonderfully and i have once again fooled another unsuspecting crowd of scientists/doctors into believing that i have a fuck clue what’s going on in cancer research.

hearing other people talk about your research is a.) exciting b.) rewarding and c.) scary as hell.

so i managed to snap a few hundred pictures and am putting together a little flickr set right now. i appreciate everyone sticking around while i was away…now to get back into the swing of things.
