BPS, Day 2

Gah, was out late whooping it up with the Block Lab, first at East Ocean City Restaurant (colloquially referred to as "Illegal Seafood"). We ate one of these, among other things:
We then went out drinking more.

I have a head cold and didn't sleep well last night, so I'm functioning on four hours of sleep and a lot of coffee. I did make it for the 8:15AM session, and ran into pretty much the whole Selvin lab (past and present) at Jeff Reifenberger's talk on his work at Helicos. Then I went over to the RNA folding session.

Saw some very interesting stuff this afternoon on HIV RNAs, and then came down to the optical spectroscopy session, and dear Lord it is packed to overflowing with people who want to hear about STED, STORM, and all that jazz. Literally, there are people sitting in the aisles.

UPDATE
Lunch with Ziggy in Chinatown, then back for posters. I usually don't last more than 45 minutes at the posters, I have such a short attention span, with all those people around, but this year I was there for a good 2 - 2.5 hours straight, there were so many people to talk to. Saw some old friends, and met some interesting new people, saw some good science, though nothing that totally blew me away.
