Roberto's going away party...

Last night a bunch of us got together at the Great Escape, of course, for Roberto's going away party. He's heading to Yale University in the United States (yes the Yale) to do his post-doc for a couple of years. It's very strange to think of life in Lausanne without Roberto because I met him right after I moved here. I don't know what we're going to do without Roberto at the Diablerets conference this year! Good luck Roberto!

In other news, I'm busy preparing for my conference next week in freaking Colby College. I'll be living in a dorm room for 5 days... yes, that means showering in a dorm bathroom.... argh, anybody still have their shower caddy that I can borrow? Colby College is also in the middle of Maine, so I'm basically stuck there with strangers. Hopefully they're not as dorky as most scientists and I can find somebody to pal around with. After the conference I'll be heading home for a few days and then back here to keep working!
