Well, I’ll be frank: After lively and long discussions on every night of the genetics congress, it was time to get some sleep for me. Rudolf Jaenisch, our guest yesterday, was in the best hands and I sneaked out fairly early. From what I heard today, the meeting continued well after midnight.

The next gathering of the Berlin group will probably be in September. There are plans beyond a simple pub night, those of you who have met Phil won’t be surprised. Stay tuned!
