Darkly Colored Felines of Fury » academia http://blackcat.ca Personal site for Patrick Audley and Blackcat Systems.

We both had a really great time at the Symposium. The lectures were great (even if they were a little too kinase heavy) and it was really fun to hang out in a social setting with people I work near everyday. Hearing everyone talk about their work during the lectures was really great too. On Saturday, Elizabeth and I took a hike in the wilderness and met a very cool retiree who belongs to the clan that owns all the land around Pitlochry. We chatted for the better part of a half hour as we walked back together and had a most enjoyable time. That night was the Ceilidh, a Scottish dance that resembles square dancing. Afterwards came the quiz session; a cross between a drunken game show and a game of Trivial Pursuit. We came in 5th but still had a great time! All in all a really good weekend. The only thing it lacked was sleep *lol*

Most of the people who work in research were smart, well informed, and enjoy their work (Elizabeth and I thought this was because the pay was half that of the private sector, so anyone who doesn't like it gets a job there elsewhere).

I really enjoyed working in the [BIOINFORM001,Bioinformatics Dept.] and had great coworkers. This was the first time in all my career when I could truly say that I enjoyed everyone I worked with. Seminars were particularly enjoyable and it was always easy to find people talking passionately about things they love.
