The art of not being one with the universe

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.
