Or “new apartment”, as some would call it. This one has a number of advantages over and disadvantages under the old one: It’s significantly smaller, it doesn’t have a dishwashing machine, the floor is new, there’s no freezer, it’s still piled full of things I haven’t managed to unpack and stow, the bathroom is tiny, it’s in a much nicer neighborhood, it’s closer to work, the bathroom is nice and shiny, it’s mine, all mine.

I’m back. It was a hectic week. But fun. Seems I know what BLAST does now. Nice to have my ideas adjusted by the experts.
So, I’ve been in Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (NY) since Tuesday, learning about computational and comparative genomics. It`s been very interesting. Lots of information-dense lectures and workshops about things I need or will need to work with when I return to Oslo. And the culture shock hasn’t been too bad. Food as expected: Sweet and greasy. But frequently good. Lecturers very good. And the other participants are an interesting bunch, plus the lab itself is a nice place. I have some pictures in my camera, that magical place they seem to never leave.
No er det slik kvitt på bakken igjen, og påfallande låg energitettleik i amosfæren. Slik hurra, eigentleg, sjølv om det stoppar sykkeltida og er månadsvis til skiføre.
