I am attending the molluscan neuroscience meeting in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.
This meeting can be one of the best meetings I ever attended.
So many good talks. Many big-name people. Beautiful data and movies by highly advanced techniques.
It is great to meet some of my SfN friends again. Especially on a dispatched island in Caribbean ocean.
This whole meeting is like a field trip.
The open discussion made by Drs. Hawkins, Glanzman, Abrams and Byrne and others was terrific. I had never seen anything like that, although the topic they were discussing over and over did not sound that much important to me.
Having a field trip to the beach was also good. Seeing those smart people wearing WalMart-like bathing suits is kinda rare experience.
Only thing I regret to death was that I forgot to credit Drs. Russell Wyeth and Owen Woodward for their beautiful Tritonia swimming movie I used in my talk. Russel has many good Tritonia movies.

-- I agree: a great conversation about an issue no one cares about!
I could tell who were democrats and who were republicans from that conversation.
