Thursday night found us sitting around in the Oakland Airport, playing sudoku and utilizing precious free wifi before setting off for a night flight to Boston. We have spent the week finalizing our presentation and our poster, so everyone is a bit exhausted at the beginning of the journey.
Action shot of Bing in the airport. Bam!
Dramatic cell phone shot.
No action or drama here. Just sudoku. The adventure begins!
Our presentations (those of the Wet Lab and the Computational Team) are both on Saturday, and we have all of Friday to practice the presentations over and over, to make sure that they are informative, but captivating, and most of all that we keep them within the 20 minute time limit… There will be a question and answer session after the presentation, and this is a new concept to many of us, so Terry and Chris will be coaching us on how to reach into the resources of the work we have been doing to answer questions effectively and interestingly.
We came into the predawn world of drizzly Boston at 5:30 am, surprisingly not too grumpy and even a bit cheery. We were, however, in great need of some shut-eye to get rid of that red-eye to face the rest of the day full of practice presentations.
You can feel how extreme the predawn Boston was with the blurriness of this picture.
Jamboree, here we come!
