I’m sat in a project seminar listening to Timo Knürr’s presentation on association mapping in pine. Unfortunately, Timo is ill, so the talk is being given by his collaborators. One of whom hasn’t even seen the slides.

Mikko’s doing well so far, but he had to drag out an overhead transparency (remember them?) to explain the model structure.

OK, now back to Outi (who isn’t even an author!). And now they’re deciding who should present the results (Outi: “I’m on thin ice now”).

“The results weren’t totally satisfactory. Do you want to comment on that?” – “No”

Final comment from Wolfgang Stephan: “We’ll have to tell Timo that it takes 2 professors to replace him”
