EuroTrip '08 - Trieste, Franc Nekrep

One of the highlights of the visit to Trieste was the opportunity to finally meet an old blog-friend of mine. Franc Nekrep is a professor of Mikrobiology in Ljubljana, Slovenia and we have been reading each others blogs for a couple of years now. It was so much fun to finally meet in person. He came to the Open Access session and then we went out for lunch and had a great time. Check his blogs (as much as you can understand Slovenian): MIKROB(io)LOG and LiLoLe:

Oh, and for my foodblogging friends who would chastise me if I missed posting pictures of the food we had, here they are - buffalo mozzarella, chicken with mushrooms, and steak with (embedded) parmesan:

You must have noticed that there wasn't too much effort on this blog over the past couple of weeks (except for the elaborate and too successful April Fools hoax). I've just been so busy lately. So, here is a quick recap, and some pictures. Back on March 21, I went to Duke University to participate…
As I predicted, bloggers have waited a day or two before they wrote much of substance abour Scifoo. First, you don't want to miss out on any cool conversations by blogging instead. Second, the experience is so intense, one needs to cool down, process and digest everything. Before I write my own…
Wow - this was (and still is) a very busy week. On most days, I just crashed early, without having the energy to blog very much (at least very much for me). In the last dispatch, I forgot to mention I met Jimmy Wales who came to visit PLoS and we talked about Wikipedia and building online…
