IEEE BIBM09 Conference – Day 1
Warning: This post is highly non-sequitur– it’s late at night and my brain is full of science.
Wow! I’m learning a lot and having a blast– I’ve met a lot of people and have managed to fill the entire day with workshops and tutorials. The venue is convenient, being right in a hotel (Hyatt).
To be more precise, the conference isn’t really in Washington. It’s in Bethesda.
My talk hasn’t come up yet, but my slides are 100% done– I just have to review them until I start to twitch uncontrollably. Today was the first day filled with talks, so I’m feeling a bit light headed and needing of sleep to digest away all of the information.
One key thing I want to take home to my current project is the use of tetrahedral tessellations called simplices to express protein topology and structure– there’s something very useful about that when searching for regularities and especially when dealing with stability.
Aside from going to workshops, each attendant is asked to fill in a ballot to indicate which of the posters on display are the best of show. We get to nominate three– and I’ve chosen mine for today. For me, it was an easy choice to pick the top two while the last nominee was originally tied. An additional poster show will start on Nov. 3rd.
Conference Paper Submitted
Brief: That IEEE November conference paper Stefan and I had been working on was finally submitted in the wee hours of last night. The newborn weighed in at the IEEE specified 6 pages, single spaced.

Just for fun, here’s a really zoomed out view of pages 1, 4 and 6.
Meeting with Stefan
Brief: Due dates set up — June 22 for all software upgrades and experiments to complete for paper MSc-X1– July 10th is the final due date of the paper to submit. Conference is on November 1 to 4, Washington– note schedule conflict with iGem October 31 to November 2, Boston. No new fields of application to report (would have been nice).
Hey, a new looking blog — very nice. How did you have time to do that before/at a conference?
Anyway, have a great time in Bethesda (and learn some science, of course).
I’m just using a theme! That’s no secret– look at the copyright text at the bottom of the blog
— I seriously recommend WordPress for the number of themes and plug-ins… It means I get to develop content, which is what I wanted to do 
Oh right, I keep forgetting that there are some things that can actually be done without reinventing the wheel.
Heh… Perhaps Recombinatron v2 will fall under that category.
