Anyway, Jenny and I just returned from Taos, NM; I was there for the Keystone Symposium on B cells, and Jenny came along for a break from the emergency room. It was a good time -- as good as a week-long conference of science lectures can be. Taos was surprisingly warm, so it felt more like a winter escape than anything. We spent some time hiking around and looking at Pueblo ruins and petroglyphs, skiing, and exploring off-grid sustainable housing.
Once again I had to present a poster at the meeting, which went reasonably well despite the 10:00pm desire to go home and sleep instead of explaining the details of murine tumors.
Michelle, Jenny, and I took a trip to the MN Landscape Arboretum on return in order to see their orchid show. It was pretty meh, but the rest of the park looks fabulous. I'm looking forward to checking it out in the spring, and might even consider a membership there.
Anway, pictures from Taos:
