Bay Area Single Molecule Club?

Steve's recent visit to Harvard to deliver the Loeb lecture was apparently a rousing success, and I even made a new Facebook friend through somebody who had heard his lecture and found me through our lab web page. Steve came back and reported that Boston has a Single Molecule Discussion Club, and it looks like these guys have a lot of fun. I think it would be great to do thisout here as well. We could get folks together from Stanford, UCSF, Berkeley, and UC Santa Cruz (and anybody else who wants to come, of course) to have monthly talks, meetings, drink, eat, and schmooze. If you're interested, you can leave a comment, or e-mail me at:

If there's enough interest, maybe we can start to set something up. I'll probably try to send some e-mails around to the various labs (Vale, Bustamante, etc) and see if I can drum up interest. Suggestions are welcome!
